Burnston Burns heading it is the only reason it is associated with England.
But still originally concieved in England i believe!!:)
True, but we can only consider a team with a nation IF it receives the absolute bulk of its funding FROM a certain country! Icaras is internationally funded!
If there is going to be a British team (and there should be) they should in British Racing Green. Icarus was a wierd one - feminine pinks but proper fast.
Much as I admire and agree with your traditionalism, I do wish you would spell Icaras properly. :D
Sorry, Icaras =D.
I'm not the only one to misspell though, remember that Wip3out was released with piranha spelt pirhana.
What are you talking about? Those are two entirely separate teams. ;)
No connection between them at all. Nope. :D

Isn't Auricom a joint American/Canadian owned team!! Two nations here!! Of those two countries who provides, if any, the absolute majority funding? Who cares!! Auricom has based itself in North America and why not!!:)
Icaras was originally concieved in England, it's roots are in England, probably still gets funds from England as well as other countries, so why shouldn't the team be able to call itself British, or at least base itself there??:)
I know some F1 teams nominate themselves as a different nationality to where they're actually based.
I'm from Monaco, said the gingerbread man;
You can't tax me if you run as fast as you can.
I didn't even know this and I've been playing since XL. But it actually makes better sense because it seems to me that Canadians would have more altruistic and progressive sensibilities, as Auricom is portrayed in the game. Don't know why, they just don't seem like your typical American "company."8)Quote:

As Auricom say, "You're never alone with a clone." I wouldn't be too suprised that the canadians perfected cloning - look at Sweeden! Look at all the 'funtastic' things they have there!
Bombardier - Do canadians make learjets?
apart from the great suggestions already here, a couple of the fan made teams would be a HUGE boost for us guys, perhaps even if only in that a "fan based team" is in the backstory for the new race season as a history item for a new team of some sort.
bakkufu! Howdy! :) You're so infrequently here these days.
Xios was from Finland, by the way. Someone else here said Sweden.
Okay, so what teams do I want back?
- First generation: FEISAR, AG-Sys, Auricom, Qirex - Unlike other games where classic characters or teams become stale, here they should definitely stay. All of them.
- Second generation: Piranha, Goteki45, Assegai, Icaras - Yep, all of them should stay. I do think Piranha should return to its speedy role and Icaras should ditch some of its pink though.
- Third generation: G-Tech, Van-Uber, Xios, Tigron, EGr - Like Icaras, Van-Uber has an awkward name and they should change it. I'd like to see EGr back but not the other two. I have a soft spot for Tigron.
- Fourth generation: Harimau, Triakis, Zone - Harimau and Triakis can stay, I think they are both worthy additions.
New teams:
- An Indian team (wouldn't Parvati be an awesome name?)
- A Korean team
- A Middle Eastern team
- A Martian or Lunar team
A Martian/Lunar team :blarg not very realistic, though just my opinion!! :)Quote:

Meaning, humans who colonized Mars or the Moon...hey, there's a couple lunar tracks in Fusion...Quote:
