Why IS ALMS/ELMS not returning to Silverstone and/or Nurburgring? Will one of these be the TBA date?

And what about Mosport?

Rumor has it that the FIA is not happy about Panoz and the ELMS. Could a "new" FIA Sportscar Series (SRWC) take on The Don?

This Series might also include the Daytona 24, Glen 6 Hours and Road America 500 Grand Am events.

Panoz may have more than small car counts to worry about next year.

Come on Buster, no reason for gloom and doom. I bet it is just FIA giving a little name recogition to SRWC. The FIA press release says things will be annouced in December for a 2001 season. Starting a little late to have the pieces in place if it is not just a rebadging of another series.
