The "win on Sunday, sell on Monday" cliche no longer works in the US market (which is what we're discussing here). Ask any car dealer. US consumers are barely aware of international racing and rallying series. Even Nascar has lost much of its audience and is no longer very effective as an auto marketing channel.

Ok then, I'll let them know they have to return the 4 Billion dollars from the Fast and the Furious frachise because no one cares about racing in the States anymore. Furthermore, since your contention certainly implies Americans have no interest in going fast, I will notify all the car and motorcycle manufacturers to stop producing blindingly quick models for sale here... no one cares.

Plus we're gonna save a fortune on speed enforcement on the roadways. I'm happy about that.

Oh man, and that's right--we better close all the indoor karting tracks, and my buddies who run succesful Racing Schools here should probably also look for another job.

Wait... will this also affect GTA related online gaming? Sure it will. IRacing too I bet. Shoot!

Oh well... it was fun while it lasted.
