I love American Le Mans, and if there were more races, wonderful.
However, it's not realistic.
We're barely able to get entrants to commit to a nine-race, North American schedule, which has to have the least amount of logistics expenses of any top series in the U.S. given the fact the calendar is so short. How are you going to get teams that can afford to race in South America?
We need to do things that help keep the sport competitive and maintain the right image for ALMS. Sending an abbreviated field to South America, or anywhere else, is not going to do that. It hurts the racing, and it hurts the championship battles if not all the teams can afford to go.
American Le Mans should stick to North America, simply because that's all it can (barely) afford to do right now. I'm sure WEC is more than welcome in South America.
