Unrealistic for sports cars, for the sports racer/protos maybe, but for the GT class, put up the money and they will come.
Especially if they use their own minimul rules, meaning no one has the ideal set-up already.

Drag racing still has the outlaw races, and automotive based sponsors that have something to gain by such a race, plus they still put on "the big show".
Road racing once had it, now it needs a promoter with the love of cars and charisma to set it up.

Sadly it seems these days, there are no such people in the rest of auto based motorsports, with the exception of Panoz, and he sold out to the ACO.
