1)
LM P1 - 9
LM P2 - 9
DPi - 9
LM P3 - 3
LM GTE-PRO - 9
LM GTE-AM - 3
GT3 - 0 (SRO already took care of this)

2)
LM P1 - no
LM P2 - no
DPi - no
LM P3 - no
LM GTE-PRO - no
LM GTE-AM - no
GT3 - N/A
Apart from the huge amount of cars in GT3, there are no other classes that can actually sustain a race with healthy double-figure entries on their own (maybe apart from LMP3). Multiclass or nothing, sportscar racing at high level has always been multiclass.

1) Would you be interested in watching an ACO race where this class was the headliner category (above other slower categories, whatever they are) - YES/NO
LM P1 - Yes
LM P2 - Yes
DPi - Yes
LM P3 - Yes
LM GTE-PRO - Yes
LM GTE-AM - Yes
GT3 - Yes

2) Would you be interested in watching an ACO race where this class was the sole category racing on track - YES/NO
LM P1 - No
LM P2 - No
DPi - No
LM P3 - No
LM GTE-PRO - Yes
LM GTE-AM - Yes
GT3 - Yes

For Q1 - most of these series already exist. WEC, ELMS, IMSA, Le Mans Cup. The only one that doesn't is GTE as the top, but we do see that in IMSA GT only races and as a proof of concept it works. GT3 obviously has the entire SRO catalog proving it works.

For Q2 - Prototypes on track on their own car be quite dull. Might as well watch single seaters at that point. The big draw of prototype racing for me is multi-class as it adds something completely different to the mix. GT racing is a bit different because it can become big touring car races.

You can do that with LMP2 too. Just ask a few of the current drivers

On scale of 0 to 10, how would you describe your level of interest for each of these ACO properties for the 2018(-19) season:

FIA World Endurance Championship 10
European Le Mans Series 9
Michelin Le Mans Cup 3
Asian Le Mans Series 6
Asian Le Mans Sprint Cup 3

ELMS still have some special atmosphere, while AsLMS provides some teams and drivers. Nevertheless, sometimes it's too much racing going on and I think some series are interesting only to compete in or cheer for you relatives or friends, who are at the wheel.

Spa 6 Hours (2018-19) 10
Le Mans 24 Hours (2018-19) 10
Silverstone 6 Hours (2018) 9
Fuji 6 Hours (2018) 10
Shanghai 6 Hours (2018) 8
Sebring 1500 Miles (2019) 10

LM P1 10
LM P2 5
LM P3 2
LM GTE-PRO 10
LM GTE-AM 3

I'm not a Drivers' Championship fan as it has to be a monoclass to get the really best of the best. So I do not understand the whole concept of LMP2 with different chassis and attention upon drivers rather that cars. The same goes to LMP3. No engineering evolution - no interest, as I have no friends who compete there.

Alright so now that we know the entry lists and more of the calendars and Alonso effect (if exists) and all that jazz, let me slightly modify the original questions - and this time I am also including IMSA and some other smaller things because everything here is kind of related

So I have the list of events/happenings right here. Put the following grade you think describes your interest for following (however it is you might do) the said events next to them

A = I cannot for the world to miss this, it's my life!
B = I'm plenty interested in this
C = I'm moderately interested in this
D = If I have time / particular mood I might follow it... or not, it doesn't really matter
F = I couldn't care less whether this event exists or not

So for example:
RD2. Sebring 12 Hours B

If you don't care about any of the events of series X you can just put F next to the series name and remove the events

MaskedRacer User has been fined for unsportsmanlike behaviour!
I appreciated your query helgi, but I can't do each race. Too long. I can grade series by my interest though.


A IMSA Weathertech
B WEC (so far but it can go down), Blancpain GT
C Other Euro/North Am GT3 Series and races(N24, ADAC, GT Op, PWC)
D Japan/Asia GT series; CTSCC
F ELMS, Le Mans Cup, Prototype challenge
