From the beginning, with AutoUnion later becoming AUDI, there has been an attitude of "advancing technology". This has been apparent for years, both in racing and the consumer market. Their domination will end when the corporate mentality changes, which seems rather unlikely. There have been several fairly sucessful diesel race cars, but AUDI takes the technology into the future.

Here is a recent article that explains the Volkswagen strategy for selling its cars in Japan:\n\n"With one eye on the coming D1 luxury car, Volkswagen Group Japan K.K. will spend a hefty [yen]1.2 billion, or $10 million at current exchange rates, over three months to sell the new Passat. \n\nVW Japan expects to sell 1,000 Passats in the remainder of this year and 5,000 in 2002. Its launch marketing costs come to $1,666 a car. \n\n``Volkswagen is serious about making a success of the new Passat,'' said VW Japan President Tsutomu Umeno. \n\nThe launch aims, ironically, to balance the success of the VW Golf in Japan. Last year, the Golf accounted for about half of VW Japan's sales of 58,481. \n\nIn Japan, ``Volkswagen is known for robust, practical cars, Golf, small cars, Golf, German-engineered cars and Golf,'' said Martin Biswurm, marketing general manager at VW Japan. ``Our brand image has been so influenced by Golf that some customers may find it difficult to associate Volkswagen with a larger car.'' \n\nWith the upscale D1 due to arrive in Japan after 2002, VW has to push its brand image above that of the Golf. \n\n``The current Passat is virtually nonexistent in the Japanese market,'' Biswurm said. Although the Passat has been sold in Japan since 1996, ``people don't know it exists,'' he said. Research has shown that Japanese consumers' spontaneous recall of the Passat name is 2 percent. \n\nVW Japan expects to sell 3,500 old and new Passats in 2001. \n\nThe Passat's launch budget is slightly less than the launch budgets at rivals Mercedes-Benz and BMW in Japan, and similar to the amount Japanese carmakers spend to launch luxury cars in their home market, Biswurm said. \n\nVW Japan did not have to seek extra money for the Passat's launch. Instead of spending its usual marketing funds on end-of-year incentives to meet sales goals, VW Japan saved that money for the Passat. \n\nOn Oct. 30, VW Japan began selling three versions of the Passat: a 2.3-liter V-5, starting from [yen]3.49 million ($29,100); a V-6; and a V-6 with the 4motion all-wheel-drive system. All come in sedan and wagon versions. Sales are expected to split 7-to-3 between wagons and sedans. \n\nNext year, VW Japan will add a W-12 Passat to its lineup."

Formula 1 has the highest tech, Le Mans has the most interesting race, but I'm kind of hooked on amateur club racing.  Real people, not just corporate money.

Are you referring to Fabiola Da Silva from Brazil?  I've attached a link below with pictures if this is who you are thinking of.  I am pretty sure she is already sponsored by a wheel company though.

Yes, they are. Dallara has been the chassis of choice in Formula Three for several years. This season Mercedes seemed to be the most popular engine although there were several Mugen Honda engines in the British F3 series.

I believe this car is based on the Daihatsu Mira,  and thus you would be able to find bodykits that will transform the look of your car to mirror the Mira, although I'd suggest against it since the Kancil is a city run-about vehicle, not a Japanese street racer.
