Cover the WRC, WTCC, and F1 in North America!

I know that it is highly unrealistic of me to suggest actually bringing those sports to the U.S. and Canada, but can't we at least watch it on TV? I understand it's not that popular here, but I'm sure if they made the effort to promote it like the NBA or NFL (the latter of which is almost unheard of outside North America, but attracts a HUGE fan base here) it'll at least gain somewhat of a following here.

okay what's a wrc, wtcc and f1???????

maybe thats why they are not on tv here.

surely you know formula one?

i did catch part of the 2008 Canadian Grand Prix, but probably only because it's held in North America. the WRC is the World Rally Championship, and WTCC is the World Touring Car Championship. they're all hugely popular in other parts of the world, I'm just wondering why few here follow them.

I now very little about formula one come to think about it I know very little about any auto racing. Thats why I did not recognize the initials. Most in my area are nascar fans. You know the redneck, beer guzzling crowd. :-)
