But Nascar does races nearly every week for 10 months!

No matter what our politicians claim and our militants desire, South America isn't a unified continent like Europe or North America. This year, the South American Rally Championship cut from 6-8 races to 4 because very little entries got to be at all races. This year grids grew a lot, but there isn't much media coverage.

Chile has a very healthy championship because of Mobil backing, Argentina now has locally-built cars (Fiat, Chevrolet, Ford, Peugeot) as the main class rather than Mitsus and Subarus... but this goes very slow. We don't have as many bold investors as in North America. And Brazil is a continent itself, we Spanish-speaking countries don't get much news about them, including rally.

The only way for rallycross to grow here is to partner ESPN or Fox Sports, and host the races together with existing rally championships. Chile has a super stage final event in Santiago. Buenos Aires, Rio and/or Sao Paulo could have one. Córdoba, San Luis and Curitiba could as well, but no matter the large motorsport crowds, they are rather low density places.
