I have spoken to a few non-scene people that are going to the race and the piece that was done on the news with Mark and Christian, no offence, was not good advertising.

Seems people think the drifters are Mark and Christian and company and the news piece showed some less than impressive driving which leads people to believe the drifting is not worth going to watch.

Dear GP organizers…oops on the PR.

Andrew and Christian were on the news and all 3 of them were driving, the media day was sort of thrown together and the questions that were asked in the interview could have been answered better but all in all it wasnt bad, there could have been nothing at all.

There is another media day today with a short practice laps for the media and it will look alot better for the media as al lthe pro drivers are there

yeah it started at 2 until I dont know how long but seeing those guys tear it up will be good … any exposure is good exposure as it is included in the grand prix tickets so nobody is loosing anything if they like it or not from a commercial

For sure. Let’s just hope there aren’t people that saw it on TV and decide not to go to that part of the event. That would be lame.
