Actually... they did care
and walked away from the sport.
Introducing the V8s in '95 was smart and the crowds grew but once they started
sticking sedan panels on a space frame and introducing all this parity bullshit
the TV and track audiences has got smaller .. and then they went overseas and
the audience got smaller .....
meanwhile TCM and Classics and GT series have grown immensely in popularity
.. wonder why
I think audiences are just as strong as they've always been (unless you can show evidence to the contrary) plenty of people do love to whine and wax lyrical about the days of Group A production cars with their questionable rules that allowed companies like Ford to produce the Sierra and Nissan to bring a twin turbo that realistically belonged in another category to the track not to mention those monster Monaro's that most definitely would have ended up in Group A, however there are plenty of production car categories that get almost zero support from said people who like to moan about the death of Group A - just sayin'.... V8SC is how it is - it's a category race with parity cars, it's a professional sport that's pretty much it. If you don't like it do go and support production car categories, they definitely need peoples support that's for damn sure.
