Remember how awkwardly the race actually happened? And we well know now how much the ACO like Grade 1 infrastructure and 6 hour races. That's something that even now Sebring doesn't really offer, being a Grade 2 track.

IMO, Sebring happened in '12 due in part to how much pull Audi Sport had in the WEC's formative days, and that they (and some others as a LM warm up) would've run Sebring anyways with or without the WEC. It was just a marriage of convenience there for Sebring that year.

Of course, a combined Sebring or even PLM event could've continued if egos didn't get in the way.
