Competition improves the breed often. NZ motorsport I think needs a bit of a jolt.
- Agreed

V8 Supercars has been successful in doing that, often before V8SC you'd draw 5000 people to a race. They put on a good show and event and it brings people in.
- Oz is a very wealthy country with massive resources; they have many advantages over NZ.

You go to any town that has a Nascar race, year round and you will have no doubt there is a track nearby and a Nascar race every year.
- Money again, we can't compete on that scale.
No doubt, I was just using them as examples that a lot could be done to draw more to the sport. I'm not expecting 100,000 people to turn up, but it could be better.
