I'm hoping the WEC-ELMS test weekend (usually in late March) gets postponed as well so more international teams have the opportunity to compete at Sebring.
Agree, splitting up one of your signature races to accommodate WEC's needs is the worst thing IMSA could do. Anyway, it sounds like the WEC needs to have a championship race on a third continent in order to retain World Championship status and with both CotA and Mexico-City reportedly being axed it leaves only Europe and Asia as the two remaining continents on the board.
With all the arrogance of the FIA/ACO and the still fairly recent experience of Sebring 2013 in mind, I really don't see another shared event in N-A happening - as much as I would like to!
Would a separate WEC-GTE race on the same weekend as a IMSA GT only event be the more realistic option there?
