For me the greatest mystery about Finnish motorsports is- howcome they have so much success with cars, yet so little with bikes? Their love for car sports is indeed impressive, but with bikes they are much more involved, with multiple entries in all disciplines, and hosting quite a lot of important events, like the road-race at Imatra (for car people: road racing is like city circuits but in the countryside, so that the circuits have a chance of not being shit) and though they have a lot of very competent riders, somehow championships elude them (with the exception of snowmobiles, though that's only handled by FIM as a joke).
Finland would need a new world class rider that could challenge in a top level motorcycle championship (motogp for example) and then the hype around it could start the renaissance of Finnish motorcycle racing culture. there's already a good example of the hype getting more sports into the main stream with Lauri Markkanen and basketball. Before Lauri basketball wasn't the most followed sport, but when he came into the scene and joined the NBA interest sky rocketed. I could see that also happening with motogp specifically if a good enough Finn did join it.
@@MrAidenF1 actually maybe not completely Motorsport (well you could argue both ways ) but airplane racing other wise speedway racing ( the drifting bike series) And one other i saw in promotional material Super kart (basically karts that go 200 kmh and with wings ) i don't know if Britain does any off these but i feel there on brand and crazy enough to earn you're time
kymiring is completely fucked. its such a sad sight every time i drive past it. afaik theres only track days hosted there now. atleast theres rally cross at the tykkimäki circuit sometimes.

That surprises me tbf! Although I know fuck all about bikes so my expectations as to who are good riders are pretty much based solely off vibes aha
