    • @Maenfy
      @Maenfy 5 місяців тому

      Well that doesn't really work though. They would either have to race in Le Mans in December or November if they keep the "normal" calendar or they do a winter calendar, like Formula E. WEC had that a few seasons ago but teams and fans hated it so they got rid of it again. It simply doesn't make a lot of sense to have that format when everbody else uses a different one. Also cars are usually developed in the winter months so either teams have to switch cars mid season or they have to wait another half a year while every other championship can use the new car already.

      @kartaltoth684 5 місяців тому

      Sportscars won't surpass F1 popularity wise because Sportscars are much more complex (often perhaps needlessly so) than F1. Even if that wasn't an issue, your core fanbase, regardless of series is ultimately the person who knows little to nothing and just sits down to watch races which for a 90m-120m F1 race is perfectly reasonable. It's as long as your average big blockbuster movie but sportscars generally start at 3 hours which are already borders on fairly long, and only gets longer and longer with 4 and 6 and 8 and so on all the way to a full day.
