the question yet to be answered, Stephane, is why would SPONSORS be interested in a worldwide series? The continued failure of globalising sportscar events (see LMS Shanghai & Interlagos, FIA GT in the US in late 90s plus other examples) can be related to sponsors’ and competitors’ unwillingness to pay for these events.

What is fantastic is that the FIA and ACO will finally have a rules agreement and anyone wanting to only enter a continental series can enter the LMS/ALMS events.

I can see the GT2 series working, although I’m not a fan of single class GT racing, but the GT1 series seems destined to fail in my mind, although I’d be delighted to be proven wrong.

If it ain’t broken, don’t try to fix it. This is shooting at the races own foot. Go back to the roots instead. Don’t give way for irregular cars like the mc12 and make manufactor teams leagal again, but run some kind of budget checking so that a maximum budget is allowed (like NFL teams).

And most importent: Make races mixed class 3 hour events again.

Why? All of motorsport? Honda has committed to run in the IndyCar Series through 2013 and non-spec indy cars will return in 2011.

The SRO should petition Dodge to build a new Viper racecar for the 2010 season.
