"You know you are a British Indycar fan if..." - Rachael (@Rachaelwith2As)

15/9/2012

So after reading "You know you're an Indycar fan if...." by @Indycar_MN I decided to enlist the help of my Twitter family to come up with a British Indycar fan version....This list isn't complete by any means, but might show people that us Brits love Indycar too!!  Here goes....You know you're a British Indycar fan IF:
  • You have to travel 24,000 miles in a season to watch the races at the track.
  • You know there is a low banked, 1.5 mile oval which would fit in the schedule
    perfectly.
  • You know who Dario Franchitti is, and not just because he's Paul di Resta's
    cousin.
  • You think Will Power is a fool (not neccesarily limited to the British!)
  • You are very familiar with stuttering, barely watchable Internet feeds.
  • You  think Indycar should come back to England.
  • You spend your time reading American news articles online, because the British
    coverage is non existant.
  • You get angry every year, when Dario Franchitti is overlooked for Sports Personality
    of the Year....AGAIN. (This year exepmpt! Ed.)
  • Unlike the rest of the UK, you look forward to the end of May for something other than
    a Bank Holiday!
  • You know and love Keith Huewen.
  • You get more race coverage on Sky Sports with less ad breaks!
  • After the F1 is over, you know you can spend Sunday evening watching racing too.
  • You have to explain to other British race fans why Indycar is not NASCAR.
  • You have to listen to other British race fans comparing Indycar to F1
  • You have heard the sentence "but they just go round in circles...." a million
    times
  • You knew who Dan Wheldon was before 16th October 2011
Thanks to @rkid84 @Indycart @toomuchracing for their input!
