I think some of us sports car fans are in love with the WEC because it's trying to recreate the wsc.it isn't what it once was, it doesn't represent nothing right now but audis playground.it has the potential to get better,but right now it's not all that great.
to me it doesn't carry any prestige, just because it's a "world championship" doesn't cut it.only two manufactures in the top class with only three cars and one privateer the majority of the season isn't prestigious, Le Mans? That's prestigious.
Yes some of the the tracks look nice and have beautiful painted run offs and buildings.but the cars race on the track not under the fancy grand stands or in the pretty run offs.also some of the most beautiful iconic sports car pictures have been taken at sebring and Daytona as the sun is setting not at silverstone or Shanghai.
Since the WEC is following the F1 circus and it's tracks, and want spectators in the U.S. Why not race at long beach.
f1 runs on street circuits, why not wec?cant boast a world championship prestige without a street race like F1
