Motor Sport magazine
The current (Feb 2016) issue of Motor Sport has lots of sports car interest. WEC review, Karl Wendlinger interview, Porsche 935 article. Even a Pescarolo and a group C Aston AMR one for sale.

Interesting how Motor Sport have been increasing their sportscar coverage over the last year or so (indeed having reached out and asked if they should), which make a change from the approach taken by a couple of the other bits of motoring media. |

I feel MS mag has an agenda of sorts - even if it's as simple as saying something often enough in the hope it will come through. |

It's multi class racing. The grid isn't boosted by P2s and GTs, it consists of P1, P2 and GTs. All of which add to the show (obviously, not for everyone). I found the P1-centrism of the latest season WEC broadcasts quite annoying, actually. They reported as if the field was boosted by P2s and GTs indeed, not as if it consisted of them. subjective 80-90% coverage to P1. Annoying. But I digress..

Of course it's complicated...
Mainstream media sees one faction (LMP1) General public sees two factions (LMP1 + 'GT') Reality sees three factions (LMP1 + LMP2 + LMGTE) Presented series overview see four factions (LMP1 + LMP2 + LMGTE-PRO + LMGTE-AM) And actual sporting regulations see five factions: 1.1.1 The following classifications will be established: A/ General Classification (all categories combined) Categories: LM P1 (and 1 sub category Private Teams LM P1 established for podium and FIA World Endurance Championship point allocation purposes) LM P2 LM GTE Pro LM GTE Am |

WEC have only grew since it's birth while, in the same time, F1 have only been sinking year after year since, at least, 2011.(tv viewing figures, fan's interest and etc) |

Isn't WEC losing a fan next year? What with the reduction of energy quota.
