Dreaming of a FIA/FIM Motorsport World Cup - Sports car events

Hi, folks! Today I woke up dreaming of a FIA/FIM Motorsport World Cup, the equivalent of the Olympics and the FIFA, FIBA, IAAF and IRB World Cups. It would be held in a rotating single venue every four years. It would show all motorsport disciplines in a single event, promote technology development and road safety, and attract major audiences.

The main disciplines would be formula racing, sports prototypes, grand tourers, touring cars, rallying, rallycross, superbikes, motocross, enduro and trial. Secondary disciplines could be oval racing, trucks, drifting, hillclimbing, ice racing, freestyle motoross, etc. The final events would be karting and minibikes, with the podium finishers and polesitters from all the disciplines.

Each country would field up to 3 drivers in each discipline (5 in protos / GT), so in a 24-vehicle grid there could be over a dozen countries represented.

- o -

There would be three sports car racing events: two 40-minute heats for single driver GT3, a 2-hour race for two-driver GT3, and a 6-hour race for three-driver LMP1 teams and guest GT3 teams for non tin-top drivers and riders.

I pulled this GT3 grid. No manufacturer has multiple drivers from the same country.

o- Germany: Bernhard (Audi), Dirk Werner (BMW), Jäger (Mercedes), Bergmeister (Porsche), Krumm (Nissan)
o- Britain: McNish (Audi), Priaulx (BMW), Jarvis (Mercedes), Westbrook (Porsche), Turner (Aston Martin)
o- France: Dumas (Audi), Pilet (Porsche)
o- Monaco: Ortelli (Audi), Beretta (Ferrari)
o- Italy: Fisichella, Bruni or Bertolini (Ferrari)
o- Czech Republic: Enge (Lamborghini)
o- Austria: Wendingler (Mercedes), Lietz (Porsche)
o- Netherlands: Maassen (Porsche), Cox (Lamborghini)
o- Belgium: Martin (BMW), Goosens (Dodge)
o- Sweden: Ekstrom (Audi)
o- Finland: Vilander (Ferrari)
o- Denmark: Kristensen (Audi), Magnussen (Chevrolet)
o- Spain: Garc*a (Chevrolet)
o- Portugal: Parente (McLaren), Lamy (Corvette)
o- United States: Hand (BMW), Long (Porsche), Milner (Chevrolet), Hunter-Reay (Dodge)
o- Canada: Spengler (BMW), Wickens (Mercedes)
o- Mexico: Fernández (Aston Martin)
o- Brazil: Farfus (BMW), Matos or Melo (Ferrari)
o- Australia: Brabham (McLaren)
o- Japan: Motoyama (Nissan)

That's 3 Audis, 3 BMWs, 2 Mercedes, 3 Porsches, 2 Ferraris, 2 Chevys and 1 Aston, McLaren, Dodge, Lamborghini and Nissan, totalling 20 cars. France, Italy and Japan could provide more drivers, but I can't put them anywhere (should ask for help to Toyota / Lexus and Nissan). With the 5-driver limit, there are tons of Germans and Britons missing the World Cup.

Who would you pick?
