Motorsport has totally gone international, I mean there are now drivers from Angola, Iran and even Dominican Republic. My question is where will drivers come from next.


Have a Look!

P.S Sorry if this thread is in the wrong place.

First real Moderating job done, I'm so proud of myself. :D

I'm amazed people have the energy to manage a site like that.

I didn't realise that driverdb was editable. I've used it a few times and it has a lot of potential if the information starts to appear.

It's too much of a hassle in the forums, if this was a civilised software like IRC, i would just type /Dan Baniel and all would be well, but here i'd have to move the cursor and fiddle with knobs. :)

This site isn't even accurate. I just know from the Canadian thread they are missing some pretty well known drivers (at least up here) who have raced at least one race professionally, and they have Jon Beekhuis listed as a Canadian, and the last time I looked, if he was, he was born here and left the country and no one admitted to where he was from. Anyhow neat site I guess.....but needs work.

youve just earned your first gold star. 2 more and you get to ask if people want fries or not :)

can a Mod get points for blatently taking a thread off course :p :

motorsport will be trully international when we get our first driver from the Antartic.

an interesting thought just occured to me. (well, I think it's interesting anyway)

when are the PC brigade going to get their hands on sport in general.

in the workplace, we have positive discrimination left, right and centre. how long before a disabled, african lesbian complains to the court of human rights (and wins :rolleyes: ) that F1 is discriminating against her.

worrying isn't it.

I can see it now, a campaign to ensure race cars are wheelchair accessable. How dare Ferrari make an f1 car with pedals, what about the paraplegics that will want to race?

Oh and wait, NASCAR's diversity program isn't working well enough, a court petition will be signed to get the first Zimbaweian behind a Stock car.......

Ok..I am going to go do something constructive with my time now....

I recently found out that Antarctic is the continent having the highest percentage of people with a university degree. It was kind of obvious when you think about it.
