True, but that was still slightly outside Ratel jurisdiction and they still had the weird combined race with Aus GT (and the Aus GT runners parked after one hour). I went to see it trackside in 2016 (the first year with the IGTC branding); it had the unmistakable feeling of an event on the ascendancy, even with a smaller entry.

But yes, agreed, if the tie-ups with local series and local runners are exploited correctly, there's no reason why the US event shouldn't grow on a similar pattern.
