It is supposed to be our dream calendar, it doesn't matter what the rules say. And on that note if I was in charge I'd IMMEDIATELY change that lame and misleading WEC title back to World Sportscar Champonship.

Pure Fantasy:

Sebring (Prototypes only, with ALMS grid)

Spa 1000 km
Le Mans
Nurburgring 1000 km
Monza 1000 km
Brands Hatch 500km (prototypes only)

It's commonly referred as "World Sportscar Champonship" but last time it was called literally that was in 1961.

GrC era names:

1982-1985 FIA World Endurance Championship
1986-1990 FIA World Sports-Prototype Championship
1991-1992 FIA Sportscar World Championship

http://wspr-racing.com/wspr/results/wscc/tablems.html
http://wspr-racing.com/wspr/results/...lemsmakes.html

I've understood manufacturers complained about misleading E word and then the name was changed... and that was in line with the eventual change of the race format.

In my dream calendar all the regular races would be <500 km, like in 1989-1991. I guess I'm not really a hardcore fan after all because I don't see the fascination with the 1000km/6 hour length. Historically... but with current reliability it's not really a test at all. It's not long enough to be epic event like Sebring/Le Mans/Petit and it's a nightmare for tv.

Damn, you got me!

But, even for a fantasy I had to put some limit, for it to look possible. Considering I had already three US events, I refrained putting the Glen and Road America. And I hadn't planed Daytona in it, as it's already a big event by itself, even with DPs. Still, I agree the infield is not bad and the LMP1s would look wonderfull, flat out on the banked turns!

Then if we go totally unrestricted I'll also add the Nordschleiffe, Bathrust, Brands Hatch, Donington, Estoril, Mexico, Imola, Istanbul, Zolder, the old Hockenheim, A1 ring...

I wonder what the holdup races are if they can't get the whole schedule released?
