Le Mans Series races had/have never really been crowd magnets though, Barcelona 1000km was no different.
And by 2009 the works teams and Genes had gone

I know we've been over it several times, but it seems such a pity that we're talking about 3 North American WEC venues and they are the Texas car park, Indianapolis' former car park and Montreal. Although I can find little fault with the latter, in a land with Road America, Laguna Seca, Sebring, Road Atlanta and Watkins Glen, that really is shameful.

Yes it is. But as long as FIA/ACO wants F1 standards for everything - when in truth even Lime Rock would qualify - it's all what we are going to get.
Anyway at least with Indy and GV you get a sense that you are actually in America, when I look at Cota from TV it might just well be the parking lots of Turkey, who can tell the difference.
