My 2 cents.


This might offend some, but here's how i see. Grand Am's fan base comes from trying to give Nascar fan's something to relate to in sports car racing. This forces the cars to be simple spec like contraption with stickers being the only real difference. Real sports car racing requires technical innovation and is not a show comes first mentality. This isn't a circus, it's motorsport. The push for technology results in incredible machinery. We love the Porsche 917 even though it obliterated all the other cars it competed against. The 917 has stood the test of time because it set a precedent that defined all sports car racing stood for. That is why it was the car chosen to shape the Group C cars of the 80's. I seriously hope the France family realizes that even in the USA, most of the sports car community hates what Nascar represents to motorsport and will stand against anything they bring over to our sport.
