No, it's the kind of sport that a single father with an 11 year old son will visit in the rain.
They usually take visits to harbours to see old ships when they're not busy in the loft building things out of Lego or gluing a model plane together. The kid has no friends and he has blond hair, the dad is balding and he works in a fruit machine factory. The mother died/left very early on, the dad only has his son left in his life.

That was an accurate description, right? This was what it was like in 1998.

No, not at all. If anything, football is, but that has too large a fanbase to be exclusively moronic. Although, they like football, so you never know...

This thread has been dead for 2 years, did you really have to resurrect it?
Great, now someone get the holy water please, I shall get the bible and the stone salt.
In Finland it's not
There's a saying in Finland that goes something like "working out smells like sweat, sport smells like gasoline"
Many people in Finland follow formula no matter what kind of guy/gal you are
I don't but many do
So from Finland as a whole I'd have to say no

No, I'd actually say F1 is one of the most upmarket sports. Also it's a worldwide sport, not solely European although it is dominated by European drivers.
edit: just realised how old this thread is
lol
huh?? I agree that you get a lot of hooligans in football (although there are many intelligent fans as well) but why English football specifically? If anything English football is one of the best in terms of the fans. There's so much racism elsewhere, especially in Eastern Europe and Italy.Blame said:

Actually, there is a nascar series in Europe called euro racecar. The difference is that nobody has never heard of it, I only found out about it during the last Race of Champions.
I always thought that if you were gonna call any (English) pundits redneck-equivalents it'd be the ones who watch Darts.
Also Football (as is said of Football and Rugby - The former is a gent's game played by thugs and the latter's a thug's game played by gents)

God damnit. Just responded to a post nearly three years old.
I really need to check these thread dates.

It's not really considered a red neck sport here, unlike Nascar. Given the amount of technical knowledge and engineering work that goes into Formula. I mean that as no disrespect to Nascar (tbh I know very little of it), just that Nascar seems like a more accessible motor sport compared to F1. At least from my observations it seems a group of mechanics with enough know how could put together a car to compete in Nascar, where you would need several millions to fund a barely passable F1 team.
I personally enjoy watching F1, well at least until it becomes obvious who is going to win and I can't route for the underdog anymore. So depending on the season my interest in F1 lasts for about 4-9 races

You are certainly a master a spotting the necro threads DoPo. You must one day train me in the art of basic observational skills

Guys, GUYS, let it go. The thread is close to being a two and a half years old corpse. It doesn't care about what you think - the flesh has already rotted off it, so it doesn't have ears to listen to you.

The Closes thing to a Redneck in Europe is a Traveler, Gypsies, Pikey, whatever you want to call them.hudsonzero said:
