   That's odd too since the Viking lands have produced so many great
motorsport heros.  There's the F1 Finns, the Touring car Sweedes, the Great
Rallye drivers.  sorry I can't sort out all their names, but MOST of them
all end the same

Motorsports just aren't that big here, the Swedes have a half decent
weekly program called "Pole Position", I get Swedish TV here so I try to
catch that one as often as I can, and they also have a half decent F1
coverage on race day, unlike the Norwegian coverage which is pure and
utter crap, Harald Huysman is no better as a "expert commentator" than
he was as a driver and some of his comments makes you realize why he
never quite made it

The fact that I have to turn to Swedish TV to find out how Thomas Rustad
is doing in the ETCC (not too good) speaks volumes about the state of
motorsports coverage over here

On the upside, with Petter Solberg's recent success in the WRC we're at
least getting some WRC coverage there, usually a 30 min recap each
evening of an event

Motorsport in Norway has for far too long been synonymous with Rally

the day he retired....only to learn that he's now into Politics and he's
just as annoying there as he was on/off the track

Can't speak for Finnland as they're not that close to us, but in Norway
you becaome a success in motorsports on your own, media isn't going to
do squat for you, and without media...no sponsors, or at least not a
whole lot

Beers and cheers
