OK, gotcha. At least SPEED has decided to show all the big races. Still doesn't excuse them for leaving out other important (or at least entertaining/exciting) overseas series like JGTC. Anything is better than NASCAR Classic.

I agree. In my personal opinion, though, it doesn't matter where or how you qualify. What really matters is how you race and where you finish.

The US has Cart which is the only major open wheel road racing series whereas Europe has tons and tons of open wheel events. Europe has scouts that walk the go kart tracks looking for talent, in the US its all about Nascar.
Again, I completely agree. Then again, I don't wanna see Jeff Gordon in a Williams BMW. That would kinda ruin the mystique of F1, IMHO.
