Bender, there was good feedback from others on the nation vs. nation concept. Got an opinion?
I think it's a marketing strategy to appeal to casual sports fans, and it didn't gain much traction. But when you ask casual U.S. fans about IndyCar, one of the common complaints is about the lack of U.S. drivers.
That's why I wonder how people around the world view the subject. As for me, I didn't really know much about Rene Arnoux or Gilles Villeneuve until I watched a race many Sundays ago. If you're a racing fan, you don't have to know what kind of sunglasses a guy wears or what country he buys them in. The skill is all that matters, and the flag is a universal one.
