That's what I wanted to say.
I think it's interesting to take a look at the manufacturers in Stockcar Brazil:
Chevrolet, Peugeot and Mitsubishi. None of those are premium companies like Audi or Merc. These are companies that don't have - at least for the Brazilian market - to prove their technical prowess and are allowed by the SCB-ruleset to take the technical aspects out of racing and turn the cars in fact into nothing more than motorized billboards for their product.
