Just adding to the disucssion: unfortunately most club drivers are not interested in alternatives that fit their driving better; as long as the product does not appear similar enough to what the pro-drivers are using.
The influence those pro-drivers have on the purchase behaviour at club levels is exactly why the pro-drivers get sponsored.
The best that could happen for you is to find a company again that's respected and promotes the car throug an established driver. If it could become the car to have in a new class; whether by outperforming new releases in the same class or as a spec car, then you'd be really set. (think of the supastox)
Outside of clubs, I'm thinking of bashers primarily, the influence of pro-drivers is less. But there 4WD rules, and bigger scales, as speeds get so crazy with 3S and 4S.
