Agreed that a WEC championship is vital to getting, and keeping manufacturer participation. A stand alone Le Mans is a failure.
The hypercar concept offers the opportunity for works teams and high level privateers to compete in machinery that is within the imaginative limits of the fans.

It is also within the reach of limited production specialist manufacturers, and in fact may be more attractive to them than say BMW, Mercedes and Audi.
To be attractive to teams the championship would need to include China and the Middle East where the interest in them as road (status) cars is at it's highest.
