I don't think it will be there for long, provided the performances remain good enough. Apologies to any big GT Open fans, but it's clearly a tier below Blancpain in competition and exposure and that's why it's an ideal series to test the waters, both in terms of development and politicking. Eventually they should upgrade to BSS/BES (more likely the latter), although I think this will depend on Emil Frey's insistence given the extreme cautiousness of Lexus so far.
