I learned very quickly working in this sport that the tail that wags the sportscar dog is TV. I used to sit in front of a TV and count the seconds in which our sponsor was mentioned. I then transfered that into advertising dollars. Like all motorsports...the real money comes from TV. You have to separate your head from your heart..Yes i love ALMS but I love what Grand-Am does to attract sponsors. It's all about costs.

IMSA fan...you may have swerved into the reality. Alfa want to sell cars, they know more people will buy their product to run in Grand-Am. The fact it would be the first really decent looking DP would be an asset, although I must confess I don't mind the lines of the Crawford chassis, but of course, it is the Riley that is the chassis that seems to be dominating. Bob Riley don't care about looks, only performance, and his track record of winning tends to prove his theories right more often than not...So while Alfa may have a good looking DP, will it beat the Riley's, Doran's and Crawfords?

Mark...I don't think that it can beat the Riley's....but it will beat the Doran. Yes I do love the lines of the Crawford and I love the looks of the Fabcar. I think with the new rules in Grand-Am this will open the door for others.
