Should NASCAR follow NFL to the UK?

[Stephen H]

The French race car series have an oval on their calendar for 2012. Don't remember seeing them have an oval race before? Think they used the road course at Daytona.

From what I can make out its a tempory oval at an event at Tours, tickets seem pricey too.

As this year, they are back at Brands with the DTM for 2012.

If they are feeling the need for an oval race, shame they are going to a temp 600m oval when we have Rockingham, the Eurospeedway and Venray in Europe.

When they came to Brands, the drivers seemed pleased to race in front of a crowd.

If there is a connection between race car and NASCAR, maybe the best we could hope for is a current or former NASCAR driver guesting in a French racecar, if the series could be temped to a permanent european oval.
