[ELMS] ELMS (was LMS) 2012 discussion

[AndrewF31]

Even all these proposals keep forgetting that ELMS can't be a 3-race season. They'll always have 1/2 extra events. And apart from Paul Ricard being early season and great to test cars, like we saw last year, the last race, Estoril, was a disaster. And it's not just because they came to Portugal. I'm not sure if Catalunya would have done better.

Anyways, I've never understood the split of the races, but I think in the case of ALMS, the combo races are an issue as we saw last year, since ALMS still has a fairly large grid.

Plus, noone has put any Middle East rounds in their schedules. Makes no sense. There and China is where the money is right now, like it or not, and while FIA is in the game, they'll always be trying to overload on races in those regions. As dull and stupid it seems, I'm sure those rounds are not only paying for themselves but may be balancing out the deficits created by the European rounds. Lets not forget South America too.
