    I don't see this series surviving in the long term. SRO's plan on a touring car based sprint race format isn't necessary as sports car racing revolves around endurance racing. To add, the ACO sees GT2 as the premier GT class in the world and BMW, Ferrari, and Corvette agree. The last thing SRO and the FIA want is spliting the brands amongst the Formulas as the most important race is Le Mans and all decisions about sports car racing are decided on Le Mans which is an ACO event. All the cars in the GT1 series are many years old and old chassis except the Ford GT and Nissan GTR. ALMS and ACO regs is where sports car racing needs to be. (Yes i know that ALMS regs are not the same as ACO)
