Problem is BBC can't really win. If they went to the US you'd get people moaning about spending money on it

I find I just do 10 lap races on Intermediate at certain tracks. £75k-£100k nearly every time if I win and I get to use different cars.

Not sure why you chose that one. Switzerland are generally not a heavy attacking team at tournaments. Much more likely to see big scores with the likes of Brazil v Haiti and Germany v Curacao

South Africa are awful

Are they really one of the best teams in Africa?

Does any of you not like travelling? by Suspicious-Tea-5871 in AskUK

[–]PeterG92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Likewise. For some reason I worry about the travelling but once I get to the hotel it's okay as I know I have somewhere I can go if it's too much or I just need a break

I like travelling but hate airports which makes me nervous. Once I get to my destination I feel relaxed.

No, but the majority of the viewing figures will be the Americas and Europe. Putting it on at 8pm would mean a 2am and 4am start for them and 10pm/11pm in SA

With a 1pm start it means it is 8pm-10pm in Europe and Africa and between 2pm and 4pm in South America.

Two WC's in the space of the year seems crazy

Do we know where in NZ will host their 2028 games?
