IMO, the other problem about emerging markets, is that marketing there through racing is probably FAR less efficient than in places with racing heritage. So while European and US fans are missing out, the Chinese Panamera buying public wouldn't care less if 991 RSR has a new-gen DI engine or not.
So moving calendars towards 'emerging markets' makes a lot less sense than in F1 where FOM get their 20-40 mil per race regardless of local interest.
Perhaps a second WEC round in the USA would make a lot more sense than adding one in India?
