Just a typical, well subscribed, boring endurance series.

Lots has changed since then.
In 2008 LMS there was full season Audi vs Peugeot battle, Peugeot attempted to bring and market an ill-fated hybrid 908, Porsche RS Spyders roamed in P2, big GT1 cars were still alive, in GT2 the big Ferrari vs Porsche wasn't any less than now but to the contrary, in none of the four classes there was proam crap so they hadn't have to live with that, Silverstone attempted to gain attention and notice by having free tickets (also it was sponsored by Autosport so bigger explosure through them), and both Eurosport and Motorst TV were covering the series
