Does it really matter? It seems like China is just a country that international motorsport has to be seen paying a visit. How many spectators does the Chinese Grand Prix get? For some events that would mean no paying visitors to provide the organisers with funds to contribute to the GP going on year after year as FOM squeezes as much money as they can from an event but in China that doesn't seem to matter. I'm sure Volkswagen et al would be less concerned with going to China with barely any spectators than not going to China at all.

Considering that China has a growing middle class, this is important.
Our sport is free to spectate unlike F1 where you have to give your credit card and pin number to the white haired dwarf... And god forbid should anyone who's poor enough not to afford a Rolex spectate it, that would be disaster.
Also, you can't just go and buy a red bull racing car... And the Mercedes and Ferraris and McLarens you find in the shops look nothing like the F1s on the track.
A sport that has some real world connection in a country with a growing middle class where not much free things happen sound like a very marketing tool.
I hope it will show the Chinese what real motorsport look like.

Have any of you watched the APRC Rally China Rounds? I think last years or the years before were on Tarmac and video footage was nice! Should be an interesting round. Will let you know what its really like!

APRC event is mixed one. They run on gravel setups and tyres but some roads are asphalt ones. Anyway it's different event.

I have signed on to be a volunteer official at Rally China. I will find out in a few weeks what they want me to do. The volunteers are being organised by the LeTV sponsor. Email jinlifan@le.com for enquiries, they will welcome most people. Naturally they would like some Chinese language skills from people attending, however motorsport skills and experience will be rated higher.Last edited by Livewireshock; 31st May 2016 at 11:34.
