Evolution MR Segment on Speed Channel

But there is also a logical reason for amount of NASCAR programming. While we here all appreciate road racing like WRC, Formula One, AMA, MotoGP, Le Mans......the viewership in North America for these series pale in comparision with the audience that NASCAR generates, which last year was dubbed the fastest growing sport in North America.
So with such profitability from NASCAR and FOX's connection with the series, the network is naturally going to cater to the majority. Likewise in Europe, NASCAR and IRL get coverage but it takes a back seat to F1, WRC and MotoGP.

Like Top Gear! And do a cool comparison with STI and STR-4 with Evo MR. Talk about the japanese market and european market.
Talk about the warranty issue, like an investigation journalist.
Talk about aftermarket support with other modded evos.
Don't say, "the handling is great... blah blah blah" say, "the aluminum suspension components, blah blah blah" get technical, most people on this thread is very technical and will spot a bs quickly.
Once you do this and make it as an hour show, I'll watch it.

The budget our show got is just a scratch compared to what Top Gear got from the BBC. If I ever have the privledge of big network backing, I'll take your suggestions into consideration. So all I could do was maximize our resources and make every cent count.

Hey you can still see WRC on Speed Channel they cover every event you just have to keep track of the dates. One thing I have not figured out on Nascar is why dont they put some kind on steering wheel lock to turn the car for them? Why? LOL...
