This is why it's a mistake to compare LMS with the ALMS, LMP1's didn't attract fans to the LMS, races aren't really marketed. As I stated above, it's a similar story with Blancpain, it could have spectacular grids in 2012, grids that would draw big crowds in a heavily promoted NA series, but the series will draw one man and his dog.
These series will be high quality and highly competive, but they serve the dual purpose of giving an arena for amateur drivers and helping young pro drivers and teams develop, ultimately to step-up to the WEC or ALMS.
