View moreWhy were tobacco companies heavily sponsoring motor sports?
So, you've probably noticed that motor sports and tobacco companies were once as inseparable as peanut butter and jelly! But why, you ask? Well, it's simple really! These companies saw motor sports as the perfect platform to promote their products. Fast cars and the 'cool' smoker imagery were a match made in marketing heaven. This partnership was also a clever way to circumvent the limitations on traditional tobacco advertising. By sponsoring motor sports, they could keep their brands in the public eye without breaking any rules. It's all about being creative, right? Just like my grandma's approach to knitting...there's always a loophole!

View moreWhy are motorsports not popular in India?
In my observation, motorsports aren't popular in India mainly due to the high costs involved and lack of infrastructure. There's a scarcity of tracks and facilities for training, making it tough for aspiring racers to pursue their dream. Moreover, the perception of motorsports as a dangerous activity also deters many. Furthermore, the lack of a strong motorsports culture, as compared to sports like cricket or soccer, contributes to its limited popularity. Lastly, the media coverage for motorsports is also relatively low, reducing its visibility among the masses.

View moreIs “Cars 3” better than “Cars 2”?
In my opinion, "Cars 3" comes out on top when compared to "Cars 2". The third installment in the franchise manages to recapture the charm of the original film, focusing on Lightning McQueen's journey and emotional depth, which was somewhat lost in "Cars 2". The latter took a different path, leaning more towards a spy-thriller vibe, which didn't resonate as well with fans. So, if you ask me, "Cars 3" indeed felt like a more true-to-heart sequel, improving upon the elements that made the first film a hit.

NASCAR, though popular, isn't without its criticisms. One major complaint is the perception of monotony, as some find the idea of cars going around in circles for hours quite dull. Others argue that NASCAR isn't environmentally friendly due to the large amounts of fuel consumed during races. Safety concerns are also raised, with critics pointing out the high risk of crashes and injuries. Lastly, critics often question the lack of diversity among drivers, which they believe undermines the sport's overall appeal.
