[FIA GT] Why is FIA sportscars so sad?

[billnchristy]

For all the European fans out there:

If LM racing is so big and racing in general so big in Europe, then why did the FIA Sportscars fail so miserably?

I watched last year on Speed and will this year too and I could probably count the fans at each race on my hands and toes.

What gives? Is it the format, the rules...what is it that makes it unattractive?

Will LMES succeed and what makes it different?

These arent synical questions, real honest answers would be very appreciated as I cannot understand how the very types of cars that are drooled over at LM every year dont draw any crowds anywhere else.

Thanks
