Why this sport is amazing: A Newbie Perspective

RoC is not rally.

True.
Anyway, I'll shut up now.
All I wanted to point out is that we should be more tolerant to other forms of motorsport.

We are.

Update 2 on Fandom: LOVING this sport. Anticipating each upcoming rally. Studying replays to prepare. The cars are fabulous. The drivers are amazing, and fun to listen to. Absolutely, unconditionally, helplessly addicted. It's done. I'm in. Enjoying all that Latvalla is, and captivated by Lappi. Getting some speed from Juno is a bonus. Great, great, great stuff.

Nice to see your enthusiasm for the sport Revman, and how you keep praising every driver and brand involved, even being a Toyota fan. That's the spirit!

I'm qute sure NASCAR drivers will do better in in their domestic championship. Problem is that rally doesn't inspire many in US.
I remember NASCAR driver giving some hard time to Loeb and Co, during Race of the Champions.

Proof that even Loeb has a bad if not horrible day once every few years.

Rally requires people to drive long distances, plan and walk just to see a few cars pass by in the middle of nowhere. Americans (I grew up in the states) want everything to be accessible (read: handed to them). Nascar events serve beer, hotdogs and many sugar filled delights while you're sitting in the stands. No effort required to attend a Nascar event. Just arrive and sit. RallyCross is the same and is getting a lot of traction in the states due to this. Albeit it is a lot more exciting to watch than Nascar. Hence why a ton of American teams have invested into GRC in the states.

I personally love rally. I'm looking forward to spectating in Finland this year. Last year was a blast!
