That only works if the finance department are short sighted. £100m a year (for easy maths) was previously just £60m + £40m. Same figures still apply, just another page on the spreadsheet.
More realistic reason is to use Le Mans as a big event. IMSA has it right - they start with big events and end with big events. They have Watkins Glen as a big event in the middle, but I'd say that's no where near as big and popular as Sebring and Petit. It's awesome, no doubt, but the start and end events are where the big popularity is.
