But then again, LMP1 shows that the ACO tend to stubbornly stick to their guns with a lot of hubris even after the writing is on the wall. IMSA at least seem less stubborn here and know the writing on the wall given that no one other than Corvette Racing is willing to show up full time.
Only thing that IMSA has to do is decide to do the GTLM reset after next season, or wait for the ACO to let GTLM/GTE die and for the latter organization to face the music.

I don't think ACO could do a lot if manufacturers will decide to drop their GTE/GTLM programs
