The biggest problem facing the FIA GT series is the FIA itself and the ever influential hand of Bernie. He will not allow any other series to come anywhere near to F1. The FIA singlehandedly eliminated the threat of the DTM a few years back by forcing them to go international with a national series. They were actually outdrawing F1 at the German venues they shared. Even now, the FIA GT teams that were going to race in America at RoadAmerica and Daytona in a joint Grand Am series event have all declined due to lack of funding. Now they have been dropped from the Grand Am participant list. Its too bad that the GTs can't seem to get it together.
