The lack of desire in good numbers to race Mod in the US with the infrastructure you have access to and the sheer population mass is quite an anomaly I feel.

I guess it is sorta equivalent in real world Motorsport too - US drivers commonly aim for Indy or NASCAR as the pinnacle and don't care about F1 etc.

Indy is a pretty darn good and competitive series - but it's sorta equivalent of 13.5 blinky when comparing to Mod/F1
