Motorsport/aftermarket industry and the ecomic crisis
 

What will be the effect of the economic crisis on the motorsport/aftermarket industry?

Well, Honda have just dropped out of F1, see Autocar.co.uk and I think there was a thread on here too.

Yes i kewn that
But i like kown how it will affect company's like RUF Automobile roush engineering hennesy motorsport all the other big name company's etc.

And the motorsport side of us ford and chevrolet/gm and chysler/dodge.

Le Mans 2009 Test Day's been cancelled. Teams only have a practice just before the race.

Motorsport and aftermarket? Why don't we have two different discussions?

Oh and Audi pulled out of ALMS completely.

If everything will go on whit this pace their will be not good motorsport left

Nah. Something like this has happened many times before. You give over 100 years of heritage too little credit.

Ok
I am not a 100 years old
:laugh::laugh:

No. That's not what I meant...

I am only joking

When was the last time this happend?

Probably the last economic crisis. It's a pattern. When there is an economic downturn, people spend less money on everything. From litigation to fixing up cars, things just slow down. They'll be back; they won't just go away forever.

So we will less modded cars in the near future.

^Well, yes, because it costs money, and nowadays, a lot of people have less money. When the economic cycle gets on the up again, everything picks up.

I guess we have to do whit what we have
