Intercontinental Le Mans Cup was awesome. Too awesome. Now, how would it's (IMO much better) 2011 points structure change the landscape of the WEC LM P1 had it been utilized instead of the current one with it's sub classes and different positionings?

ILMC (2011) Team Point Structure
- All teams (works & privateer) under same roof, no sub trophies
- Only highest placed car of the team scores points, no separate standing for individual cars
- Points of 15-13-11-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1, Pole 1, LM double for race points

----------------------------------------------------------------

2012 WEC-ILMC LMP1 Points
1) Audi Sport Team Joest 134p
2) Rebellion Racing 102p
3) Strakka Racing 87p
4) JRM 74p
5) Toyota Racing 61p
6) Oak Racing 21p
7) Pescarolo Sport 13p
POSITIONAL IMPLICATIONS: If integrated, Rebellion & Strakka & JRM move ahead of Toyota. If the Pescarolo Dome was counted at Spa, it would go to 21p and be tied with Oak for 6th

2013 WEC-ILMC LMP1 Points
1) Audi Sport Team Joest 119.5p
2) Toyota Racing 93.5p
3) Rebellion Racing 8035p
4) Strakka Racing 31p
POSITIONAL IMPLICATIONS: N/A

2014 WEC-ILMC LMP1 Points
1) Toyota Racing 131p
2) Porsche Team 111p
3) Audi Sport Team Joest 102p
4) Rebellion Racing 87p
5) Lotus/Kolles 16p
POSITIONAL IMPLICATIONS: Porsche passes Audi

2015 WEC-ILMC LMP1 Points (7/8 so far)
1) Porsche Team 123p
2) Audi Sport Team Joest 108p
3) Toyota Racing 88p
4) Rebellion Racing 52p
5) Team ByKolles 34p
6) Nissan Motorsports 0p
POSITIONAL IMPLICATIONS: If integrated, Rebellion & ByKolles move ahead of Nissan. Also Audi still within theoretical reach for first place if Porsche scores nothing at last round and they take pole and win

NOTE
There was separate Manufacturers Cup in ILMC though where multiple factory team cars counted for points, I might do that later too. But the point of this post here was to mainly demonstrate the difference between factories and privateers joined in together and it's implications
