gregtummer is bob on, all the new F1 tracks are all roughly the same length and speed, so all F1 races last about the same amount of time, and the same layout to contrive overtaking opportunities. They all have a longish pit straight, then somewhere a really long straight with a hairpin, or double hairpin, at each end to allow slipstreaming and remove the problem of following cars through fast corners.
The WEC could easily overcome this by not using them, or only using them where they have to i.e for a race in the Middle East and China. Instead they are basing the series around them. Granted the loss of Sebring hasn't helped in that regard. Its a shame about Fuji because its in as nice a location as I'd imagine any track is but the corners are dull, especially when compared to Suzuka or even Autopolis.
