I'm for anything that raises the profile of sports car racing globally, and especially in the U.S. I'm not sure if or when this will be seen in the U.S. (please, let it not be on Versus!), but maybe the FIA GT1 World Championship will be a good start.
Of course, my only (major) gripe is that Jaguar isn't in the mix. : But from the list, it looks like there will be some very interesting vehicles in there.
Six manufacturers and twelve teams will line-up to contest the inaugural season, Aston Martin, Corvette, Ford, Lamborghini, Maserati and Nissan will each supply two private teams with two cars, making up a grid.of 24 GT1 super-cars. The series will be the FIA's only world championship aimed soley at private teams, a move designed to keep control of costs."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith

I don't care what the schedule is or how it gets done, only that it gets done. Le Mans NEEDS a world championship, and the sooner it gets done the better!

That's good news.
