They are certainly racing, among LMP1, P2, GT1 and GT2 cars. So was the Bentley EXP.

Right now the GT1 class in the ALMS only features the Corvettes and they just share the track with the other cars. The LMP1 and LMP2 cars are faster and the GT2s are slower; hence they racing themselves. The Bentley was designed to the LMGTP regulations, which were slightly different to the LMP900 regulations, but still intended to yield the exact same performance. So while it might have been the only car in its class, the Bentley was at least on par with other cars and racing for overall victory. A few races back the Corvette was doing pit-stop practice while the other teams were busy getting a qualifying time on the boards.
