It's always nice to see teams running LMP2 cars rejected in favor of teams running LMP3s or GT3s who'll be able to turn their entries into LMP2 or to that filler 'everyone's a winner' GTE sub class.
As for Bratislava, I remember seeing their name popping up with Ginetta's potential LMP1 customers last year. Should've gone that way, that is the only place (besides being GTE factory or [French] friends with the ACO) where you'll be getting guaranteed grid spot at LM regardless of everything else... even if you entered just Le Mans only I'm pretty sure. The 'must do all the races' is surely just enforced on OEMs (Toyota), they wouldn't say no to privateer team wanting to boost up the numbers in top class for their biggest event - yes the ACO made big deal of reaching 10 this year too, it matters to them. Besides even last year CLM communicated to the ACO early on they'd just do the Euro races, partial season still exists for LMP1 privateer if someone wants them
