10: Sponsorships
Another way devoted car enthusiasts used to get car parts was through sponsorships. But with the market how it is right now, those sponsorships are going to dry up. The drift circuit has stopped for the season, as has NASCAR. Drivers have resorted to racing via I Racing and we have to wonder what kinds of changes these will bring to the racing world.
Where things will go from here is anyone’s guess, but you have to wonder if we will ever have stadiums full of racing fans again. The NASCAR circuit is just one of the many places where automotive parts companies would sponsor popular drivers. Without these sponsors, a lot of drivers are going to be missing out on income and some great parts.
