FIA GT had three events outside Europe in 1997 (Japan, 2x US), as did ALMS with NA in 2000 (UK, Germany & Australia). Yet these series weren't even dreaming of world championship status back then. I know that technically you'd only need three continents to actually receive the WC status from FIA -plus their blessing of course-, but I think ACO should make further effort of bringing the championship to SA or Australia - a final flyaway race to close the season.
