GTE-Pro: Ok, no Corvette or BMW at Estoril, but the Porsches and Ferraris are top notch. AF Corse is probably better than Risi at this point and JMW and Farnbacher are better than ESM. Aston is surely better than RSR Jaguar.
GTE-Am: Better than GTC.
LMPC: Who cares.

The entr list is only part of the equation, when you follow an ALMS race it feels like you're watching an international sportscar event, the LMS feels closer to the Dutch Supercar Challenge or British GT's annual visit to Spa.
All is not lost, as I said in another thread if the series visits smaller, characterful northern European tracks like Brands, Assen and Zandvoort they could put on a great show (for those who know about it) if they capitalise on what makes them distinct from the competion, their prototype grid.
