Argentina has three and a half strong tin-topped series, and a small bunch of teams do have the resorces to run a sports car programme. Brazil has one strong tin-topped series of which I know little than I wrote in Wikipedia, but I guess that the situation is similar except for the little or none manufacturer support. I believe that a Le Mans race in Interlagos and one in Portero de los Funes could work (but not more). However, the FIA GT1 is interfering anyway.

How about a Le Mans Americas Cup with four races: PLM in October, the South American races in Novemeber and/or December, and Sebring in March?
