    why are southern hemisphere driver so fast?

    every wonder why drivers from the southern hemisphere are so fast? like the ones from australia? and new zeland?

    there are reasons!

    The biggest is that in the northern hemisphere, toilet water rotates the same way as CDs in a game, due to the earth's rotation. this actually speeds up our game play a little.

    where as in the southern hemisphere, where the toilet water spins in the OPPOSITE direction as the CDs - the earth's rotation actually slows the CD down just a little bit and helps their times out.

    ANOTHER reason is that most our races are run in the spring, summer, & fall months here in the northern hemisphere. we're all busy during those months. But in the southern hemisphere, it's winter and they have nothing better to do than sit around and practice.

    there are more reason. what are some of them?

    i blame the toilets..

    purely for the reason that its the silliest sounding reason so far..

    or maybe more so, that the aussie guys sit on the toilet while palying their games, therefore elimating any time lost due to the call of nature, which over a course of a year, adds up to over 60 hours on the bog.

    How do I print my voicemail?

    It's because their version of the game is V8supercars Race Driver and the Americans and Brits get TOCA Race Driver. Toca is slower the Poles are also quick as they have DTM Race Driver.

    Of course in reality we know that Aussies and Yanks can't drive properly, if the game was a simulation the Brits would win every time
