Though the purists weren’t too sure with the concept a couple of years back, but it’s got to be said that the country vs country format works fantastically well in attracting the interest of the general public. It makes it easy for an average punter to turn up with someone to support, which obviously helps them buy-into the event and grab their interest.
I spoke to a lot of people who were at a race event for the first time and were there with beer, fold-out chairs and Union Jacks already.
They all loved the noise, which TV doesn’t do justice too at all and the paint jobs.
