RBR/Aston Martin, Mercedes and McLaren all have a leg in the VERY high performance Roadable race car market and VAG (Audi/Porsche Lambergini) are players.
Could we see a resurgence of the 50/60s when sportscar racing was much bigger in terms of fan following than F1?
Might suit the Manufacturers when coupled with FE to develop and showcase their technology far better than the strangulation imposed by F1 regulations.
