I believe that by combining the 1000 with the 12 Hours weekend they are attempting to establish an identity for the 1000 in order to move it to another time of the year. Sebring had an FIA GT round in 1997 in October, but it had underwhelming spectator support, but that was a series born in Europe and spun into US appearances and it did not have casual fan support in the US. Something the 12 Hours has. If they can establish the 1000 perhaps it could stand alone? That could be a good thing for the community financially.
