They do love stuff they can vote on by phone though. Liberty are experts at this, they have connections and resources Bernie could only have dreamed of if he wasn't such a Luddite who thought that VHS was a bit newfangled and worthless as he didn't understand how to program the timer. I've seen only good from Liberty so far, and put it this way, they can't exactly make it worse.

Powershift posted:bringing in an american series that's not seen as the top level series will end up like major league soccer. MLS is not a good example, they have the most unfathomably idiotic and incompetent management. Soccer as a sport has a ton of fans in the US, most of them simply ignore MLS.

Yeah, the much more important reason why Americans are drawn to oval racing is because NASCAR is incredibly popular and thus is seen as the end goal for most young drivers.

I'd wager the success of EPL in the US in the past decade or so was probably at least some factor in Liberty thinking F1 can do much better than it has here

I think the closest thing in the US to anything resembling an open-wheel European feeder series was the Formula Atlantic cars. Also there is F4 now as well.

MLS fails because their attempt at appealing to Americans is "blindly copy everything other American leagues do," which doesn't work because American soccer fans get into the sport precisely because it is a different thing. So if Liberty's attempts at selling the sport in the US involves copying NASCAR, for example, then yeah, that's a good comparison.

As i sit here in the dentist waiting room, I am reading an article about Mclaren asking Mercedes if they can lease the engines intended for manor. They are probably trying to scare honda into getting their act together, but is laugh if they did it.

There's more than enough room in the US for both IndyCar and F1 to exist and thrive, especially now that NASCAR no longer has an iron grip on motorsport in this country (and doesn't look like they're ever going to figure out how to get back there).
