“I don’t think the US companies sell enough worldwide to even try and fake a payback scenario on a F1 program.”
Then you might not know that GM sells more Buicks in China, than in the US.
Or that GM has owned Opel for over since 1931.
Or that Volkswagen Auto Group is the 2nd largest auto builder in the world, including their plant in Chattanooga, Tenn.
Or that Fiat purchased Chrysler.
All of the auto makers are international, including Ford, which has perhaps the mostests, in terms of international racing, from LeMans, to F1 engines, etc.
And now we have a truly world class track at Austin, and I would love for F1 to flourish once again, with American fans and vehicles and circuits.
Right turns are a turn on.
Gene Haas may be an American crazy enough to try F1, but I still don’t think you’ll see GM or Ford doing it.
