I think this is good news for GT racing, as it will be made more efficient through the future single GT class. I can only see few problems with its implementation. After all, for endurance racing you can do WEC, while the national GT series can continue to do sprint races. It should be really great for a GT team to do the LeMans 24h, Spa 24h, a couple of WEC rounds, as well as a national series like the ADAC GT Masters with the same car.
But I wonder where SRO will be left in this. The Blancpain Endurance Series might become redundant, if WEC and eventually ELMS run to the same regulations.
Speaking of the Spa 24h, could it become an ELMS round in the future, once Blancpain vanishes? Probably not, as the ACO runs after "Thou shall not have another 24h race besides Le Mans", but the Spa 24h has to go somewhere, if Blancpain really was to become obsolete in the future.
