It's hypothetically possible that a GTE car could win the championship, I'd think. Amazingly improbable, not impossible.

Nah, the World Endurance Championship was for prototypes. The GT cars previously had the World Endurance Cup, which counted both Pro and Am in the overall driver ranking. This year it becomes two separate World Endurance Championships, as rather confusingly they keep casually using the term "GT World Championship" for what is apparently formally called the "FIA World Endurance Championship for GTE Drivers"
In 2015 the LMP2 champions finished 4 spots ahead of the LMP1 Private Team champions in the WEC though.
