There really are three interrelated concerns with COTA:
1. That it draws so poorly that the WEC goes someplace else, though there’s no obvious alternative for the WEC at the moment.
2. That it draws so poorly that COTA dumps the race as the WEC doesn’t draw well enough to cover the sanctioning fee and other costs so that the track loses money on the race.
3. That COTA can’t support three major sports car racing weekends a year including two events two weeks apart in September when it’s still real hot and football season is on.
While #1 and #2 are what we’re debating here, I certainly can’t imagine IMSA, PWC, and the WEC all continuing with their current COTA schedules over time. The question is just who jumps first.
