"Naturally Ford and Holden (Chevrolet) pushrod dinosaurs with overly enormous engine capacities do little to excite Malaysians lah."
I think they are flogging a dead horse with the races overseas.
Having lived in Asia for the past 26 years, mostly in Vietnam but I did spend 6 months working in Malaysia, I can safely say that Asians don't give a damn about V8 Supercars. They know very little about it and cannot "relate" to it in anyway.
I have been to the Sepang Circuit and they will be battling to get many spectators as the circuit is out of KL (Not too far from the airport) and the locals probably would not pay the admission price for something they don't identify with... What is a Commodore or a Falcon?.
A few years ago we got the V8's on cable TV via the ABC overseas network, some bars showed it but most expats are more into bat and ball sports here. To find like minded enthusiasts is near impossible.
