Maybe you are referriing to popularity, but financially, no.

Hi Darrel, no offence to you, trust me. If you like NASCAR fine for me.

Just some words to the heated discussion about the importance of a race series somewhere in the world.

I'm in this little portion of this planet that is called "ROW" and finacial aspects to something local in the US don't matter to anybody else here. So what... NASCAR can be what it is in the US but it is in fact a local phenomenum nobody is talking about here. Not a single quote in the press, on TV or the streets. So to all the NASCAR lovers don't be astonished that only intersted folks from the US care about it. Similar to American Football - next to no attention here. Sorry to say that, it dosn't matter to us.

I'm 100% sure I can find stuff that is more important to the locals here that nobody else on this planet will ever be interested in. ;-)

RR3 is a game that is avail around the globe so it is whise for FM to have content to attract different regions. So F1, FE, V8 Supercars or even NASCAR is fine to be there and it is up to us if we play it or not. We are not forced to play, don't we? ;-) ​​​​​​

No, no offense taken. I dont really drool over any of the series. I like to watch all racing to even include motorcycles and boats. But none of the series will make me carve time out of my day to watch them. No sports do. If it is on and I have the time, I will watch. But I dont specifically plan to watch tv.

Someone asked, "why more NASCAR, why?....  I was just merely pointing out how big of a business it was and that it cannot be ignored.  Same could be said for many other series.
