The way the WEC is shaping up it could become F1's nightmare rather sooner than later.
Yes, endurance racing is a little harder to market than F1 but a series possibly involving a battle between Audi, Peugeot, Porsche, Toyota, Nissan & Bentley using different technologies to race each other... that will draw crowds and sell.
Sprinkle the GTE cars for people who love road going machinery on top of it and (if properly marketed) the series could offer something for anybody who's just remotely interested in car racing.
I don't think Bernie E is sleeping to well thinking about this...
