That's why it shouldn't be too difficult for WEC to attract the likes of Peugeot and etc. They can spend "only" 100-150m euros and have a reasonable shot at winning LM and the championship. The marketing won't be as big as with F1 but car purchasers will eventually know about it, even if they don't follow the series.

Interesting. I wonder what WEC GTE Pro, WEC LMP2, IMSA DPI, and IMSA GTLM would be in comparison as well.
