Good marketing approach though, win on Sunday, sell on Monday. But like NASCAR, don't expect all of us to buy into the hype of a "ringer" car and "ringer" driver and then go down to our local car dealer and buy the same car and get the same results.  |
Ex, you're not making any sense. There is no ringer car except in your mind. The TD car is what it is. You are thinking of an entirely different car (or cars) that are not even part of this discussion. The TD cars can be licensed for the street and have been.
Again, do the reading and perhaps go see the cars ... then you are totally entitled to call BS. Until then, enjoy the show.
As for a "ringer" driver I think you are skewing that as well. I suppose hiring a pro driver to come in and clean the field would be a ringer. I'd like to think it is a MAJOR positive for the company and product as a whole that the pro-driver happens to be the man in charge of the design and production of the product. Now that's marketing beyond winning on Sunday...
Good to see some passion in the game you know?
