Right, but ALMS was - back then - providing overseas fans with something their home series didn't have... top level prototype racing was almost non-existant back then in Europe outside LM. Sure there was Mangoletsi's ISRS, but that was more or less just a place to run old 333SPs and nowhere near the manufacturer entries that ALMS used to have in P900 in those days.
With GT3, however, even many European series struggle to attract an audience...
