For most people they have no idea about WRC/WTCC whatever this kind of touring car race.
It doesn't surprise that WRC get's unnoticed in China, but it's strange to heard the same about WTCC. Wasn't Ma the first Chinese to get a victory in a FIA world championship event? What about Formula E, Team China Racing was implicated in Piquet's title, that should create some interest in local motorsport fans...

Either way, Peugeot Dakar program's still useless: they went wrong choosing 2wd. I'm hoping for another failure in 2016 edition in order to get them back to WRC!
