When you look around Europe today there are countless quality GT series, with pro teams, drivers, TV deals etc., in addition to club sportscar racing.

In the early '90's, Interseries and such were home to outdated Group C/5/6 cars, when the WSC collapsed, sportscar racing had to start afresh. It wasn't planned, but nearly two decades later, GT, and increasingly LMP, looks to have found a decent structure to take you from the club scene, to world championship level.
