I believe they will continue to exist, which isn't bad for the drivers and teams that run in both series, or for that matter the track owners. But individual endeavors aside, I firmly believe the continued existence of two prototype racing series limits sports car racing's potential in every respect.

If F1 has broken up during the early 70's and mid-80's when such a possibility did indeed exist there is no way the sport would have reached the heights it now enjoys, and the same thing goes for NASCAR if Burton Smith had pulled the trigger on TRAC (Team Racing Auto Circuit) earlier this decade.

O/T: Strange how TRAC still lives in name (don't bother with the series website though, it's a dead link) considering this threat of a rival stock car series was shelved once Texas got its second NASCAR date. Anyone have a guess as to why? Hmmmm.....
