They have excellent entertainment value (Hear that Mr. Atherton--Real Racing with high entertainment value.)

A race photographer I know said a while ago that this continent is ripe for a GT3 series, and I couldn't agree more. The cars are plentiful, all the balancing BS is already done so the series doesn't have to mess with it, the cars are inherently exciting to auto enthusiasts, and the competition is moribund.

PWC really can't follow the BES format because TUSC still offers too much competition/talent drain, but it can go crazy with its sprint format--maybe look for some headline deals for 2015, or maybe try to get a race or two televised live ....

Who knows? I think road-racing fans will be surprised to see that a North American series can do it right.

They need to dump the GTS cars from the GT race. Pair the GTS cars with the TC cars, and let the TCB's have their own race.
