Atle Gulbrandsen should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
For some reason I find the AMLS much more interesting than both the LMS and FIA GT. That's why I went from cold Norway to sunny Sebring last year.

I don't exactly know why I fancy the AMLS so much, but I think it has a lot to do with the tracks.

Sebring, Road Atlanta, Lime Rock, Mid Ohio etc. are for me much more interesting than Barcelona, Silverstone and Nürburgring GP.

The European tracks are fine, but they are often Formula 1 tracks, and that makes them too safe/big/perfect - and lacks the personality of the American tracks.

And in the US you have a lot of fans at the sportscar-races such as Sebring and Petit.

Is it any other sportscar race in Europe than Le Mans (and the 24 hour at the Nürburgring) that draws a lot of people?

So yes, the AMLS has a bright future! I also think one LMP and one GT-class is the way to go. Not so confusing, and a lot of cars competing with each other.
