I think there is an element of truth in this, and I got this impression on many of the occasions that I've been to the US. However, I think we're just as guilty of geographical ignorance on this side of the pond. If you asked your average Joe (be it here or in America) to pin-point exactly where Dubai is on a map of the world without any help they would struggle.
As it's a 'World Cup', let's not only look at this as a new racing series, but also a chance to learn more about each of the team's countries and cultures!
My only problem is that I don't have Sky Sports and I don't feel inclined to shell out for it either. Apart from going to Brands in September, I'm not sure how much of the Series I'll be able to follow outside of reading about it on the net or in Autosport.
