Don't understand what the excitement is about.
It's ILMC, ACO rules and promotion and Jean Todt endorsing endorsing endurance racing by plastering with FIA all over it with both teams and driver championship. Kinda odd considering ACO doesn't allow a drivers' championship at present.

A lot more...but that you can't see on TV, because they prefer F1 instead
So I really hope the FIA ACO deal will improve Endurance on TV

Yet the papers and TV/Radio were dominated by F1. The rest got a little snippet if lucky, and maybe a few lines if mentioned at all. The MotoGP had commentary on 5Live because the tennis was rained off…..
The TT and Le Mans maybe made the papers because of crashes. In fact, the Guardian had an article on the TT, but it was a light hearted one.
These are massive events, Le Mans gets 250,000+ spectators, with 60-70,000 Brits making the pilgrimage.
The WEC needs more than 2 Manufacturers challenging at the front – the more there are, the more chance of better coverage. The ACO also need to put their races on the series website, like the GT1 series do.

And it needs the involvement of some drivers that more people than just racing aficionados have heard of.
