another day and another sign of things moving in a sensible direction.  |
There have to be some overlaps though, 20 events each means they'd have to run 40 weeks, 45 if both had a summer break meaning schedules from Feb-Nov for both series. Add in not wanting to conflict with WEC and you're at every weekend of the year. Never mind any other series.
Work on making things more accessible for consumption, and yes some of that will take YEARS for F1 with Bernie's penchant for long term deals. TV contracts may have to be broken or settled in court to open up streaming and other avenues and distribution methods. But starting with streaming feeder series couldn't hurt, and posting that to Youtube or FIATube, to get people interested with free product and develop driver fans to follow their driver as he moves through the ranks. But that costs money to produce, stream and host of course. Could get F1 teams interested though in promoting their drivers in lower series with internet exposure beyond message boards and racing sites.
