American Culture
Besides sampling some of America’s finest race circuits, the international drivers have also satisfied their taste buds with American dining options.
Paul Drayson notes after traveling through 30 states as they cross America by motor home for races and vacations, his children have developed an unexpected fondness for beef jerky.
Gimmi Bruni enjoys eating in the Outback… restaurants of course. He also prefers the larger American fitness centers and gyms than those back home.
Klaus Graf adds, “God blessed America with a lot of beautiful natural areas and an endless variety in landscapes and I hope they understand that and treasure them.”
Bruni sums it up for many when he says, “I am proud to race in America.”
