Apart couple of guys in the Dakar Rally (this year one only, and in the cars class only), how about F1, WRC, MotoGP and such?
Why there's no either teams nor pilots?
China is a untapped talent pool for many sports including the more popular ones like Tennis and basket ball , I can only think of Li Na and Yao Ming for them , surly with the population of China there must be Budding sporting stars in the making but no scouts or sponsership to make it happen
Have you seen people drive here? They crash into each other when they drive slow! Also , motorsports are about mutual respect, that should give you your answer.
Most of the people in professional racing where born on the race track. E.g. Michael Schumachers dad had a cart-track, some are children of race drivers etc. And all have been allowed away from the school desk to go race in junior series. How many go-cart tracks are there in China in total? I would guess less than a small European country. How many Chinese parents have the vision to see maybe the school desk is not right for their kid.
