If we'd take the Norwegians, Finns and Swedes out of race cars, we'd end up with only NASCAR to watch.

Stig Blomqvist...what a driver. Big shoes for his son to fill.

I stand corrected, there is an other series with little white and blue, red or yellow. Probably they wrote the rules so that others could play too.

As for seeing a Canadian flag there? Well, Canada is where we stuck the good leftover parts of Europe so that's not so surprising.

Another series?

No - it is the same series! DTM! Spengler won in 2012 for BMW!

I dunno, there have been some OK Canadian drivers (Gilles and Jacques Villneueve come to mind) but, yes, it seems that with nothing else to do up there (other than engage in the sport of 'wife carrying', as we saw) that you lapplander types do spend a lot of time driving and become quite good at it.

As long as you stop thinking you know how to play hockey as well as Canadians we can concede we cannot drive as well as you. Deal?

Perhaps a bit further tour around the U.S. would show you, we having quite the melting pot here. I'd gather we would be just fine

I'm sorry, naturally while writing that, I expected you guys had someone in any series famous enough to be remembered by someone who is not old enough to remember the times of dinosaurs. I do however now remember all the times when I've heard Canadians being mentioned as the fast and furious of the roads. I truly apologize, since that is a hobby you in the north respect.
