I was wondering. Is it the italians? And I mean race crazy on a serious level. I know bunch of Italians here in Toronto, who are just possing as F1 freaks but actually dont know anything about it.

I would say that would be a really hard thing to quantify or come to a conclusion about...

Anyways, if I had to pick someone, Americans because we will race anything, and I mean anything...everything from sportscars in SCCA to dirt bikes to Sprint Cars, to lawn mowers to anything that moves basically lol.

I'm not really sure what you are asking...race crazy for F1? Or race crazy for just clean auto racing like LeMans or something, or any kind of racing like boat racing and offroad racing, etc. If you mean all racing I'd say America (probably because I am an American, but as I said above we will race anything), we just have so many different kinds of racing series here in America. 8)

DEFINATELY italians.. if uve bin kidnapped and wake up in a car on the italian highway without a clue where u are, u will know as soon as u pass a gas station..ferrari shirts and flags and all the weirdest stuff imaginable, all ferrari, and if Ferrari wins the world championship F1 the entire country almost explodes, newspapers make entire special editions covering evrything about all ferrari history and whatever they can think of. italians r crazy about racing, especially Ferrari.
Also if an Italian wins in sumthing else(like rossi in MotoGP) they will go crazy as well...imagine Italy last october, on 1 day Schumi and Rossi both became world champion...wish i was there that day...

I may be bias in this situation but i think it is the italians.the reason i think this is because of the tifosi.italians are the only people that have a name for there fans.

Here in Toronto i dont know many f1 fans as friends but i there are tons in little italy.

albiet, NASCAR is hugely popular.... i dont honestly know why... but there are plenty of other not so popular races we have here... i would definately say there are more americans in profession racing then any other nationality... just perhaps not as many in internation racing...

I guess it would be the english, maybe not so race crazy as car crazy.

homemade wrx · 06-08-2004, 10:03 PM

definately have to be one of the three...Italians, Japanese or Americans...for patronage, the italians. For racing anything...I mean anything, the Americans...and the Japanese will race any car
