In 2010 the US is coming into F1 with USF1 and to Rally with the Monster Team.
Should do something to get those two on the US sports map, but they have their own world series to worry about, so it might take some time to get to the level where the Standard Joe start to notice it !!
Can you see his marketing skills. He just told that he does more rallies than 1 and he will do Mexico. Sooner or later he adds another press release where he says which rallies he will do more. And even if he plans to add Chris to his team, be sure that there will be separate story for that as well :-) Guy knows what he does:-)Quote:

With media I mean main Newspapers and TV.Quote:

also in U.S. there,s many forms of motorsport cart/indy/nascar etc rallying has to compete with all those.
it should be interesting
It means that sponsors and manufacturers are much less likely to invest in rallying.Quote:

Then they might hire a market research team that would tell them pretty much the same thing. Bottom line the deal doesn't get made.
I dont think so, neither Loeb or Grönholm has no problem to get sponsor money, but thats because what they have done them self.
The drivers were merely examples. And I'm not talking about personal sponsors from their own countries. To be fair Loeb has garnered the Playstation backing. But in this case new large companies that are new to rallying. Fresh investment from overseas. Big multinational companies. Blue chip dream sponsors that rallying has to aspire to attract.Quote:
