It's especially silly since Audi stopped its factory GT3 team in 2023 as part of the pivot to F1, maybe they could make some deal with Porche thought.
I've been seeing AI slop videos about Cadillac coming on board to dominate because that's what Americans do.
The problem with F1 is that it has a TON of gay rules. If it still had the open-ended rules it had in the era of the Braham fan car, it'd be a lot more popular in the US.
One reason that may not happen this time is that costs are less and rewards are more.
The thing that American teams of the past have tended to do is that they expect to do things their own way and then get very salty when their own methods are not actually optimal for sporting success. This is something the Japanese teams of the past had to learn the hard way, but at least they have shown more patience compared to the previous outings of Americans.
You're being ridiculous. Americans don't like this sport because there isn't enough V8s that have all the refinement of agricultural equipment.
I utterly hate the factory team and corporatisation of the sport. I woild much prefer independents getting back in, but with the rules around what can/can't be bought and the insane complexity of the cars these days it will never happen.
You realize that some of the finest engines are American v8s. I think we fail in making larger exotic and super cars because there's no real demand for an American supercar as the closest is the Viper. Id say American racing culture is more due to being more blue collar in origin than the gentleman's origin of Euro series barring rally.
Back in the day I always loved the Williams Team when it was being run by Sir Frank Williams and Patrick Head, but eventually the sport got too complex for them and I had to accept that their era was over and never coming back.
Speaking of slop content regarding Cadillac's F1 car this video is top of the chart. Insufferable
Which is hilarious to me since no other sport is absolutely slathered in advertising the way both the drivers and cars are.
The new Corvette is best-in-class by far and competes with vehicles more than double its price. It's not an exotic because it's actually attainable.
Corvettes and Cadillacs are insane value for the money in performance but yeah it's awesome a Vette will dust many super cars and still be attainable for the upper middle class man.
I'm still sad that they went mid engined this generation. The previous generation was THE American sports car in my opinion. Fat, powerful engine in the front, rear wheel drive, bunch of torque, a great chassis that can do it all.
