The name we give to a class is surely not important.
The cars in the GT classes bear only a passing resemblance to what can be bought in a showroom. They're no longer road-going cars.
Equally, what started out in 1949 as prototypes - e.g. pre-production versions of vehicles that might have gone on sale to the public once developed, now have no similarities with production models.
The only thing we can say is that the GT classes are more in line with the original 1923 reasons for the race.
Personally, I like the mix. I already find LMP2 a little boring (they all look the same, just like F1 cars all look the same) and it's good to see a variety of vehicles on the track.
If it came to the crunch, I'd sooner see all GT than all prototypes.
