Perhaps that is true but in the time of Bullet the films of people (stars) racing cars was very limited and a the amount of actual racing you could see on TV/Film was pretty small. Now days you can watch anything anytime and it will never have the impact it once did. However we will see want effect the new Le mans 66 film has, sportscar racing could certainly do with a lift in popularity at the moment.
