In this type of car sport, it can be observed that the mass media and car sports industries work together in order to provide sports entertainment to many enthusiasts. Aside from providing amusement to the audience, the mass media and car sport businesses partner with each other for a win-win setup. For instance, the sports event organising body benefits from the amount paid by sports channels for the right to air their event. On the other hand, the sports channel can attract car-related products and services to advertise in their channel at a premium.
