It was just an example. Personally I would go to Autopolis (because the track looks interesting, but Suzuka would work) and Eastern Creek.

While it may only be one race and it's not called a "World Championship", the Le Mans 24 hour is , in effect, a World Championship event on it's own, even if it's an unofficial title.
My advice to improve the WEC, is not to have it. That is not having a crack at it.

I'd admit, I think I have spent too much time fantasizing about World Championships this and that (Maybe it's an age thing?), and seeing manufacturers pulling out and championships being culled over the past week does make you put things into perspective.
I still believe WEC is a good idea as an alternative to F1, but if everything falls down in the end I would be ok with a three or four round invitational/cup style events. If racing is failing to work as a marketing tool then it could be time to pull back and have an emphasis on the sporting side of things.
