Kia had virtually no race cars in the US till 2011. Well after they were established in the consumer market. Rally races aren't statistically even a thing here (most US consumers know little or nothing about them).

Wait a second. You're talking to a real racer here (I own fire proof underwear) who loves marketing, sales and advertising. You don't have to win in the US market to be considered a real car company... But you Do have to be Competitive somewhere in the Global arena. Want to talk about selling tires? Or selling Fuel? This isn't my opinion--this is a marketing fact.

Mercedes is spending 300 MM this season to win in F1 just to sell cars. What are those Unheard of companies in China doing?

Oh BTW, I am always trying to seduce the younger gals and guys into racing ... here's a Peugeot at Pikes Peak. Enjoy !!
