And the various iterations of Trans-Am, and the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge and so forth. I used to be fearful that non-Americans actually felt as you do, but I think we have a long enough history to show that we do things quite well indeed.
As for your point on IMSA GT, the ALMS is very much its offspring. The ALMS is IMSA racing (sans-Daytona) but with more reliance on the ACO rulebook because the current brain trust at the head of IMSA('s ownership) decided we need to bend over backwards to make sports car racing stronger and have a "unified" global rule set. While that benefited the ALMS for a while, it seems to be biting American sports car racing fans in the butt now.
