Other than making WG shorter than Road Atlanta in length, nothing much. Watkins Glen has more long straights and slower corners to allow for overtaking vs RA. RA has the Esses that are a difficult overtaking zone.
Fact is that both are endurance races and both would see fields shrink big time if GTD was dropped for one or both of them. However, it seems that having so many hours of racing is part of the problem.
Only "good" solution might be drop GTD from some of the sprint races or have their own separate "super sprint" race lasting maybe two hours tops on sprint weekends. So that was the drop in numbers isn't so pronounced but have GTD combine with Prototype and GTLM for some of the more major races.
