One thing I like if a European manages to get into round one, or even round two, is that the USA commentators refer to the European championship a little in their driver descriptions etc. For example, just recently with Freddie Hansen in the ESPN sportsman's coverage of the Winternationals. Albeit brief, at least it reminds the USA audience to the fact that there are other championships in the world.
I wish there could be more international co-operation / promotion. For example, it was great when Melanie Troxel came over and raced at Pod in PM.
In 2011 I was at an NHRA event (Braineard) and saw Roger Burgess in the M Troxel pit. I gestured to him and when he came over I made a point of thanking him in his efforts to bring the R2B2 car over to Pod and how much it meant. He was genuinely touched I think; well he invited me and my family into the pit area and hooked us up with M Troxel for a chat and some refreshments ! We felt very honoured.
