Jeff Gordan drives in the stock car series in the US - NASCAR. But dont dismiss him because of that - he is great on road courses as he had Karting and single seater experience growing up. He did well in the 2003 RoC.

:shock: Travis Pastrana it`s the best motorcycle rider in the X games , he does a lot of impossible tricks .

Anyway Pastrana signed with Subaru , to run in the US championship.

gucom : jeff gordon it`s a NASCAR driver

David Coulthard again.. Why not Gary Paffet? He's more champion than David will ever be.

[RAMMIUS]

what about the F1 champ Alonso ? He should be there , or that is too simple for him ?

MSC was there last year , and got his ass kicked by Heiki Kovalainen

From that line-up, it's basically France vs Finland.
