Depends on the range of sales and marketing strategies that each takes I guess - including price point and the quality of the car relative to the opposition etc.

It's of course not all about racing but if the Kia is rear wheel drive and using a similar engine configuration to the race car, that provides a stronger link from an image point of view.
