Before Porsche thinks about Le Mans, they've got to build a 12 hour car first......
Le Mans discredited? Never, though the FIA did make a huge attempt back in the early 90s. Only victim, unfortunately, was the Mulsanne Straight.
If any event is dicredited, brought on by their own people, then it's got to be the 24 Hours of Daytona. I remember watching the first Daytona Continental on TV in 1962... My, how times have changed.....To replace it, I keep hoping for an around-the-clock classic at Road America. I know, it'll never happen.
