I wonder when it became the most popular game here?? We only watch it on TV, or at best go to Bahrain to attend the F1 race there, does that make it the most popular sport?? I just wonder. However, other kinds of racing sport is popular here, especially rally races. Now there are new racing tracks where u can watch GT racing events or attend racing lessons or even driving your own car to its limits. For this project I think it claims more than it can achieve, it is just a marketing stunt.
