Unfortunately sports car racing has been a bit dead for a couple of years. It's popularity comes in waves and it doesn't seem to know what it wants to be at the moment. It had a resurgence when Toyota, Audi and Porsche were battling it out but even they lose interest after a while and it screws the category up. Then the rule makers change the regulations in the hope that it'll attract them back again, which it does and the cycle continues. The other problem is it's not a category for big name drivers, they're mostly F1 rejects. Alonso gave it a boost then he was there but it's mostly guys that have come into it from other categories. There's only 1 big name manufacturer and no big name drivers, so it's no wonder the tv networks don't want to touch it because there's no return on investment. The real action is in GTE, but that usually takes a back seat.
