I agree with all of you: better to have 2 half good series than 1 not so good series...
I think, saloon car racing should promote the cars themselves, F1 & prototype can promote the make or their image.
Bad example: Citroen wins WRC-titles in a row, but you can't buy a sporty C4 at the citroen dealer...useless!!!!
At Ford you can buy a Focus RS and by subaru you get a WRX STI. Transfers the rally legend to the production cars.
Good example: DTM 87-92 - I don't remember any car-affiliated boy at my school(s), who wasn't wishing a BMW M3 E30 or an Mercedes 190 Evo 1/2 as his dreamcar! We don't dream of porsches, ferraris, etc. - we would like to drive such cars with big wings...
Ok, it was the 80s and we were all crazy and young (wearing leggings etc.)...
I would buy a BMW 320si, if it looks like the WTCC-car (except the stripes etc), but they only made a street-320si which looks like any other E90...
Very boring.
