Sports car racing might even become globally popular again if the cars racing at Le Mans, Sebring, Daytona etc etc had some relevance to cars that were actually available for sale.

The problem with the GTS route comes with making sure that the cars keep some relevance to cars actually for sale- there would need to be very strict controls on eligibility to stop a replay of what happened with GT1- what relevance did cars like the Merc CLK-GTR, or the Toyota GT-One have to anything available for sale.....?
