Nurburgring and Le Mans

[murcielago]

Whos idea was it to put them on the same weekend?

Surely it would be better if they were a weekend apart so they could perhaps get more spectators for both or maybe for a bit of TV coverage for the Nurburgring and be able to see both circuits with endurancing racing on?

Also they are quite different endurance races.

Nurburgring looking more "enduring". Don't about 230 cars start and theres a hundred and something corners on the Nordschliefe track. Whereas Le Mans seems more spectator friendly since the track is tiny compared to the German one
