I am sure, Berger can convince 1-2 japanese cars for some guest starts within the season. At least with some financial help...as they want to market these cars sooner or later, it would be good to show performance abroad.
I also don't rule out, the HWA-build AMs will start with different disguise later in the season. I don't see them discarded and put to pieces.
Maybe HWA needs to finds someone, who pays for having his Name on the grid...like Red Bull named their engine like a chronometre.
In general it is not easy to run a series above TCR. Some manufacturers don't have suitable base models; some do only small cars, some only sports cars. And of course not every brand competes with BMW and Audi on the market etc.
On the other hand, most sports car brands have already competing in GT3, and maybe don't need another factory racing series for that.
As TCR having compact class cars, i would like to see still a series for midsize sedans, like it was in 90s, BMW M3 and Mercedes 190E etc.
