Just a quickie, was wondering why Hakkinen's name is spelt differently on the in-car shot compared with everywhere else?
Seeya at Brands!

Maybe it is some sort of German/finnish joke.
Us Brits don't pick up on that stuff with our vastly inferior sense of humour.

A can't be an german joke, because i don't understand the joke.
Hokkinen isn't a real word in Germany, so it must be a finish joke or an typing error. _________________

Hi all,
It's actually "Häkkinen" (pronounced Haekkinen) and not Hakkinen but they always leave out the dots (like Ekström = Ekstrom on the car, but really pronounced Ekstroem)... Hokkinen though is way off. Don't know any Finnish so I can't tell if it's a Finnish joke...

My friend lives on Mika Häkkinen Square in Vaanta, Helsinki, so I would say that is the correct way to spell it.

I like to hear the perceptions of the German fans. Hey Fabian mate, pop in from time to time and tell us your opinions.

Actually, we're not international. We're a European forum, I don't think we have forumers outside Europe?
I also like to hear what our German forumers have got to say, and any other nationality.

I don ´t wanna complain too much but I do find it a tad annoying when the British commentators on the DTM coverage seem to assume that all viewers are British and talk an awful lot about their "home" drivers... Don ´t know how many countries get the English commentary but it must be a few?
On Swedish TV the commentators naturally have a soft spot for Ekström but then again that doesn ´t go out on international (inter-European) broadcast...
Oh well, I can live with it. Personally, I don ´t care what nationality the winning driver is as long as he drives an Audi!
