Americans like to throw around the "world" tag uselessly in sports as well. The World Series? Get real. 29 United States cities and Toronto does not represent the world of baseball. The NBA World Championship? Ha. Again, the United States plus Toronto does not represent the world of basketball.
It is a bit odd and potentially confusing that we will have a Le Mans Series and American Le Mans Series whose calendars do not include Le Mans, but the World Endurance Championship does include Le Mans.
