Now, my question is, why can't this series also become the home for the nonhybrid LMP1s, after they are killed off from WEC in 2021? Same for LMP3 after the current cycle goes through
It could literally become the series for "rejected cars"... why not? At least there would be something to see. |
Because the wec is selfish and imo rightly so. None of the lmp1 guys would stay in the wec if they could much more easily go for wins in AsLMS with their cars. But would they be invited to Le Mans? And if they were would it even matter because their pace wouldn't be compared to Toyota during the season but instead to each other. Toyota is the benchmark so competing against them for the sake of making your car faster or having the ACO help with that is another reason to run the wec and not a 'local' series.
