ALMS to Two Classes in 2010?

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/76994

I saw this article on Autosport's website earlier this week. The idea is that the American LeMans Series may go to a single GT class (GT2) and a single Prototype class (P2?) class in 2010 with the idea of helping the series survive during this economic downturn. This may not be a bad idea. GT1 is obviously going away. Aston Martin and Corvette have been the main competitors in GT1 the last few years; Aston has been gone for a couple of years and Corvette is making the move down to GT2 now. P1 is currently an almost all Acura show although there is a slight chance that Audi may come back later in the season and it seems Peugeot will come back for Petit LeMans.

I would rather watch ALMS than Grand Am any day. If this idea would keep the series strong and enable us to see proper GT and Prototype racing then I'm all for it.
