I feel IMHO the open top cars have been viewed as bigger and slower F1 cars by those who do not know the difference and therefore the spectator numbers have declined in the past but a return to closed prototype racing will engender the Le Mans feel again and the crowds we saw in the eighties for Gp C racing and before will return.

I agree completely, but as far as i'm aware spectator numbers are still rising (significantly re LM).
