I say, Good riddance. IMSA needs to keep costs down and keep making money, and needs to keep the cost of participating and succeeding low enough to attract fresh blood. WEC can't even find two teams to race in the top class---why would anyone follow that example?

No it didn't. None of the hybrid manufacturers have left because of costs or hybrids themselves. Audi left because of the dieselgate, Porsche due to achieving everything already, Nissan because of embarrassment and horrible unfixable car.
As for "not being able to find two teams", it's bit of a joke considering that say Rebellion and SMP are just about as high caliber teams as the very top in "DPi". But even taking your bait argument, how could there be more than one factory when it was announced ages ago that the current P1 would be axed off for 2021... no-ones going to commit for a current set of regs about to be killed off and switched to some vague TBA bop nonsense. So they just wait... and lobby... out of desperation
