You don't have to be very sharp to realise that the 2 original business plan writers based the Supercar business on the NASCAR model. NASCAR is bloody huge - period. Resultingly, it has a huge number of years of experience over and above Supercars, but it is clear that Supercars could well be the local version of NASCAR. It has the all the ingredients to get there. It just needs more rounds to get more regular TV exposure to thus develop the fan base and general awareness level even further. Its at the point of needing to take the next step in its development by increasing round numbers.
I would like to see 11-12 Australian rounds and 4-5 overseas rounds a year. Its absolutely possibly and fair to say that it would keep all fans happy - the local fan base satisfied and the international fan base just hungry enough.
