There are plenty enough P2s, thank you. Remove a couple of GTE cars and you'll end up with zero racing in the class after 30 minutes in most cases. It's pretty lean as it is.

Factory in the name only, I'm starting to suspect same goes for the Pro cars too. The fact that only 3 C7.R chassis have been ever built and that the GM's works team didn't have a single spare one at any point this entire season speaks volumes about the level of factory involvement in GTE (Manthey Porsche aside). I bet a GTE-Am AF Corse wouldn't run into such troubles, although it's officially not a works team. So who's more of a 'factory' team?

IMO, privateer GT racing should move to some new reformed global version of GT4, with simpler, cheaper, less aerodynamic and more powerful cars, and have works efforts racing hypercars (GTP or whatever) for overall wins.
