If handling well on tracks and real world driving weren't important, then how does Ferrari/Mercedes/Lambo/Porsche/Corvette/you-name-your-favorite-here command the high prices and desireability they have. It's not solely exclusivity.....those cars are bad ass on the track......and on the street. Several suck at the strip.
F1 is the most watched automotive sport in the world. NHRA.......hardly gets on TV.

Drag racing is one of those sports/ hobbies that is not that fun to watch on TV but is a blast to do in person. Its not as dangerous or as hard on your car as road racing either. I also highly doubt many here in the US watch F1 or indy racing.
