Poppycock & balderdash. Can you say Ken Miles? Sterling Moss?
Do you not know British car racing?
Kenneth Henry Jarvis Miles (1 November 1918 – 17 August 1966) was an English sports car racing engineer and driver best known for his motorsport career in the U.S. and with American teams on the international scene. He is an inductee to the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America. As an automotive engineer, he is known for developing, along with driver and designer Carroll Shelby, the Ford GT40, the car that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966, 1967, 1968, and 1969.
Miles had a "reputation for courtesy on the track" and was sometimes called the "Stirling Moss of the West Coast".[10] While a member of the AC-Cobra Ford Team, Miles entered a Lotus 23 in the 1964 Player's 200 at Mosport.

In 1965, he shared a Ford GT Mk II with Bruce McLaren at the 24 Hours of Le Mans but retired with gearbox trouble. Earlier in the year, also with McLaren, he had finished second at the 12 Hours of Sebring and won the 12 Hours of Daytona that same year, with Lloyd Ruby.
In August, Moss broke five International Class F records in the purpose-built MG EX181 at Bonneville Salt Flats. The streamlined, supercharged car's speed for the flying kilometer was 245.64 mph (395.32 km/h), which was the average of two runs in opposite directions.
Racers are racers. It makes no difference which Hunger Game District they come from. Italy, France, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Brazil or Venezuela.
