The peak of fan attendance for Road Racing was the late sixties and early seventies with Trans Am and Can Am, at least in North America.
Second, here are some posts from another board, from early in 2013 on the merger.

It's like the K-mart/Sears deal... two failed businesses, put together with most of the same management, are going to do better as one business, with no new ideas?
*ALL* USCR has to do is offer a better global vision than the FIA or ACO of what sportscar racing should be like going forward... but it's the same guys that screwed it up the last go round. The brains to come up with better ideas aren't there.

There is NO leadership in any of this. It's downright brutal.
I've said from the beginning that this needed a blueprint plan from the beginning, to show entrants, manufacturers, fans where this was going to go. A new combined plan for 2016 and on, that everyone can get behind instead of this Silo BS. It really is somewhat depressing how stupid the people running this sport are.
Meanwhile they spent a lot of time and money on a branding exercise, instead of working on the product. Dumb arses.
