I think that the ACO need to swallow their pride, bite the bullet and run on Grade 2 tracks. Especially if they want a presence in NA. If COTA and Mexico City get scrapped, only other Grade 1 tracks in NA are Indy GP and Montreal.
Besides, with no Audi Sport, Porsche, and likely TMG there beyond 2018 (Audi Sport have been gone nearly a year, Porsche are out at this season's end, and Toyota might do a partial season next year before maybe mothballing their program), the WEC has taken enough of a prestige hit that I don't think that VIPs will care where they race from now on as long as places like LM and Spa are on the schedule.
Of course, if Toyota are gone, where does that leave the WEC in Japan? Toyota own Fuji Speedway, and with no Toyota in the series, do the ACO ditch Japan? Or maybe look at Suzuka?
