Nah, it really doesn't. What wins on Sunday has scant little effect on what sells Monday anymore. Out of the dozens of platforms I've seen since taking this job near a year ago, I'd say exactly one specific model has any care to what a racing series allows, and even that is more along the lines of homologation than actual rules following.

TBH police trim requirements are a far bigger consideration on platforms that require them than SCCA, NASCAR, or FIA requirements would be on a performance trim.

If you think I'm wrong, tell me the last manufacturers that won Sebring, Le Mans, or 24 Hours of Daytona, sans Google.
