If you have an all weather race, you now have two locations. My guess is BC races will just be run on polytrack if that is the venue. Noone is going to admit this stuff isn't dirt, and too many big tracks will have it so you won't be able to avoid them forever

If for some reason they did run an "all weather" race, isn't that like admitting the surface is inferior?
Pretty much. It is fake dirt, although they are always trying to get more Euro involvement, and this would do that. But its only a matter of time before the BC comes back to Hol or SA...maybe AP will even get it again. So maybe adding a single race at another track would be a moot point.
