Rally is by far the coolest form of Racing, most people just drive around the track and they kinda get used to how fast they can take specific turns and stuff... in Rally its all on the fly! You have to love it.

Default Re: swiss rally

Why do people always think Switzerland and Sweden are interchangeable? Now, I can understand ignorance on a marginal level but this mix-up seems to be a worldwide phenomenon. I am half Swiss meaning half of me comes from Switzerland... not Sweden. Switzerland is a small, mountainous central European country with a population of about 8 million people. It is roughly the size of New Jersey and is renowned for its watchmaking techniques, civil engineering, chocolate, skiing, scenery, and political neutrality. Sweden, where Swedish people (not Swiss people) come from, is a country in far northern Europe, an area commonly referred to as Scandinavia. These two countries are amazingly non-interchangeable. You see, there are actually quite a few countries other than the USA in this world! Yes, I know it can hardly be believed, but it is true. Anyway, I'm sorry if I've offended anyone... I know it is a common error, but the truth must be revealed!
