Without the privateer petrols and satellite teams you would currently have a six car LMP1 field at Le Mans, three at tops in WEC. And that would look quite damn pathetic, especially in the eyes on non-hardcore fans who turn TV on just once a year. They don't care about LMP2, no matter how many entries and cloned Oreca Nissans you might have... the P1 petrols might not have a chance but (in theory) it is the same class
'Nuff said.
