When I first heard about the Eseries, I largely ignored it. But after a day or two, I came around to the idea. In a world of no sport, any live competition is likely to get media coverage. Drivers are sitting idly by, get some use from their profile.
This is a great opportunity for teams to get additional coverage for their sponsors.
What are the football codes going to be doing for the next 4 weeks? Nothing. Supercars has something to generate chat.
The Eseries won't entertain many here, but that doesn't really matter. It only needs a small percentage of the very large possible audience to be a success. It's not a solution, but given the times, it is a good idea.
