First comment on Sidepodcast.com (extract):"Finally, a team is starting to get it. Let’s hope that others take note. You know for all the hundreds of thousands that these teams spend on P.R. and advertising firms, that at they would have figured out how to use the web to increase popularity and interest in the sport. I wish that this was something that the FIA would figure out. It is sad that the sport leaves teams to their own devices when it comes to promotion and fan relations. From personal experience and my expertise in public relations*, organization is the key to effectively communicating and interacting to public. This something that FIA has never learned."
