In any case, tracks are not the problem of WEC anymore. It's been fixed from the gloomy days of circa 2015, when the likes of Neveu and Fillon were bashing circuits like Sebring as "unsuitable" while praising COTA and other sterile Tilkedromes for their identical 6 hour events with no support races that no-one watched. Finally we have a good calendar, for what it is. But much as with IMSA, it's the regulations that are downright terrible, not calendar.
Sad to say, if I was forced to choose between 6 Hours of Shanghai in 2014 with say 25 car grid consisting of the likes of Porsche/Toyota/Audi&nonhybrids and chasiss&engine&tyrewar LMP2, or 1000 Miles of Sebring in 2021 with 40 car grid consisting of bop-Hypercars and fleet of spec Oreca 07s, I would have to choose the former... calendars and tracks and numbers are important, but they do not overwrite proper regulations. Regulations are always the ultimate heart of racing. That is why F1 despite the most grayest and boringest circumstances can stay pure even today.
