The US is a country of 190,454,432,543,121 that guzzles petrol and oil like it's bottled water, holds thousands of motorsport events a year & claims a nation of petrolheads. You'll appreciate the difference I'm sure.
Considering you have created some fine drivers, a fair portion of your people depend on automobiles, Ireland holds it's own fair share of motorsports, and that you have had the likes of Ford and some British manufacturers set up plants in Ireland over the years, no, I don't. Saying your country doesn't show an interest is silly, and I think your point falls soundly on it face.

I've either met and chatted online or in person with many Irish petrolheads. You guys love some rally. I do too.
