As others have commented, the number of Tilke tracks is disappointing, but understandable. Personally, I'd like each WEC race to be each tracks main event - not a back up to the F1/ MotoGP race.

I think it's risky putting races earlier than Silverstone - an event that has been attracting reduced grids as it is with teams not ready.

I do agree there is some big PR to be gained by picking up historic tracks that are driver and fan favourites. Don't agree it should completely avoid places like Silverstone, Spa, Fuji just because they are in F1.
