It’s a popular motor sport in Japan. Autocross would be hugely popular as well. It’s basically a anyone-with-a-car-can-join race with tracks marked out with traffic cones. While it takes great skill, it is relatively low speed and thus safe for amateurs.

Now how does one go about getting the word and suggestion out to the right people?

But Monster Jam where giant trucks crush and smash all kinds of stuff might be even more popular. A combination of monster trucks and crazy stunts would go down well in Saudi. So long as people don’t try those on the roads.

Bahrain has moto gp as well as the Australian V8 Supercar races once a year. Saudi has the money and space to change the wold view of itself and become a capital in all forms of motor race sport.

It could work with requisite promotion etc., but F thinks they’d probably come up with their version of a dangerous nascar anyway.
