Okay, qualifying might go amiss for those concentrating on Le Mans, but there's about four hours between the chequered flag dropping at La Sarthe and the lights going out at Montreal.
It's not as simple as when one race starts and another finishes. Largely it is to do with media coverage. Despite this year's event being a stunner it still suffered from having to share column inches with the Grand Prix. In a fight like there there will only be one winner. Without a GP that weekend it (RIGHTLY) becomes the centre of the motorsport universe.
