Good points made...I was looking at it from a corporate level. Could be a whole load of German manufacturers in over the next say, 5 or 6 years. At a corporate level, can Mercedes really not afford to have some sort of run in endurance racing? GT3 might be the answer.
As to the point about Ford, they've won a Le Mans victory in class in the last decade so they can sit back if want, even if they did leave a bit early for my liking. And they've a much better heritage in endurance racing than Mercedes.
And I know Mercedes don't have to - but isn't it time they just bit the bullet and got on with it in their own interest? GT3 might be the answer - not a hardcore and risky LMH or LMDh but a compromise for the brand.
