Back to the chicken or the egg debate. Whose responsibility should it be? Should the championship be fan or manufacturer supported first? Judging from the past, it seems that championships are largely successful only if manufacturers come on board.
If no manufacturer, no series. That said, the Lexus IS300/BWM 3 series/Volvo S40/Ford Focus/Honda Accord is found in more global markets than the traditional Nascar models. But I guess, why struggle to start a new series when the old one is doing fine?
