There are a few glitches, like only two GT1 cars in ALMS right now, but that would leave more room for wild cards from other classes...like the LMP2 class in ALMS...to compete....or others from Europe....
Then have DHL or an international shipper provide transport for the teams in return for making them a "Title Sponsor" of the event.

It's a good sounding plan. But something tells me that DHL aren't exactly jumping at the chance. 'Official Transportor of Le Mans' has a certain ring to it (and great exposure). However, when you add that tag to some non-descript never run before all-star race it leaves a lot to be desired. Cost vs. return does not flesh this one out I'm afraid. If it did, international sportscar racing would have done it already. But, I could be wrong...

I would tend to agree with that to.
