Exaggerated? Maybe, but this statement signals a very significant change in the ACO's stance with regard to their willingness to work with the SRO. A period of 'supposed' collaboration with the SRO to adopt a parallel ruleset for the top GT classes has disintegrated and the ACO has clearly taken the decision to go it alone. For sure, there's an element of opportunism on their part, given the recent total collapse of the European FIAGT2 championship which has discredited Ratel and his SRO. In the wake of that collapse, the ACO have decided to capitalise on the opportunity that has presented itself by offering rules stability and the opportunity for manufacturers to present new technologies in a GT racing environment.
So, the ACO are now actively trying to lure teams and manufacturers away from the SRO organised and promoted championships. I think that's war.
