I like the concept, JAG, but if I were investing in a racing program in Europe, I'd want to run a car more than 5 times in a year, not only for my own cost-effectiveness, but also for my sponsors...
I have never understood the spending of millions for a "Le Mans Only" program, and although 4 other dates with the Sebring and Petit options is attractive, there are teams that still wouldn't be able to afford the two Trans-Atlantic trips...Pescarolo and RfH don't travel now for Petit or Sebring...and I don't think that would change with the Tournament package being the only racing available in Europe...
It is the only reason why I'd like to see the FIA-SCC schedule a few non-conflicting dates to help those teams sell a better package to their sponsors....let the FIA count the Tournament races as part of their own series points, etc...it would be better for the teams to do it that way so that they secure $$$ to run...
