Did you see FIA GT mate? Tons more money there, their races are as packed as F1 races, FIA GT weekends are full great support races, plus WTTC. I see no reason for any European teams to run there when they can run in FIA GT were there is tons more money.
There isn't more money in FIA. Maybe in total field value. Check the ROI on ALMS, one of the best ratings in motorsport.

As much as I would love to see ALMS turn out into anything good, its not happening.
Dead wrong. PCM has two Vettes coming, Bell bought two Astons, Rahal is supposedly going to run 2 Astons, MAM has two of something (C5R's supposedly)
That doesn't even come close to the new LMP teams.

Want Ferrari or Porsche in GT1? Tell Ferrari and Porsche to get off their butts and build a GT1 car. Prodrive can't do everything.

We should have a big Le Mans series. WLMS, NOT LEMS, and not ALMS.

There should be a big world championship like back in the day. Anything thats even close to that is this one Le Mans race we get once a year
And raise prices to be competitive so high, it'll be a repeat of the "glory" days, when it damn near killed off sportscar racing for good.

Seems knocking the ALMS is just as fashionable as knocking american cars, regardless of how good it is. :roll:

Many of the ALMS teams are more than able to run circles around the majority of the European teams, yet ALMS just isn't as good. :roll:
