But would a better TV package necessarily guarantee better TV ratings?

I do think the looks is a problem with this car, but I think the big problem is the horsepower. These cars run 550hp and they are dumbed down to take the rent a drive driver from Europe that finished 23rd in the World Series by Renault.
Back years ago the horsepower was 900hp on average, the cars were hard to drive and not everyone could drive them well. But most important of all they were spectacular to watch.
So all the flogging with branches the series does on all these useless issues is a waste of time. No one wants to watch or will watch because the product just sucks. These drivers are not challenged and they are not fun to watch.
Until they fix that core problem all the beating about the bush with stuff like the TV deal is a waste of time. To sell something, first you have to have something worth selling.
