Perhaps, perhaps. Though, European prototype racing has had to endure a pretty bloody few years to get to the stage we're at now. Last year's SCC was embarrassing, though the procession of wins by ageing, out-of-date cars of years before was little better. Perhaps the IPC would have flourished? I doubt it would have harmed the ALMS in the short term, though of course it's possible that BMW and, later, Audi would have chosen to race in Europe rather than America. Which might not have been an entirely bad thing.
Here's a guess at some of a possible 18-car grid.
3 x AMG Mercedes-Benz CLR
2 x JB Giesse Ferrari 333 SP
1 x Konrad Motorsport Lola-Lotus B98/10
2 x Kremer Racing Lola-Ford B98/10
1 x DAMS Lola-Judd B98/10
1 x Price/Bscher BMW V12 LM98
2 x Solution F Riley and Scott-Ford Mk. III
2 x BMS Scuderia Italia Ferrari 333 SP
1 x GLV Brums Ferrari 333 SP
1 x RWS Motorsport Riley and Scott-Ford Mk. III
OK, I'm two short. I dunno. Any thoughts?
