To me the "winter" calendar should have the same actual calendar, just change the order of races...

1. austin sept
2. fuji oct
3. shangai nov
4. bahrain nov
5. interlagos nov-dec
6. silverstone apr
7. spa may
8. le mans june


To optmize everything, interlagos round should follow austin (or vice versa) so teams will avoid extra "ocean journey" for their cars, but will remain however a 3 months hole between nov-dec race and silverstone round. Unfortunately a january race will be extremely hard to organize, because most of lmp2, gtpro and gtam drivers and teams could be already involved with 24H of daytona
Good points, the tough part here is going to be the transition from the current schedule to a winter one. Currently Brazil is at the end of November so how you start a new season after that is tricky.
