Hmmm tom, I recently met a girl who's heavily into motor racing, and she said though England does have some tracks, ---- most races do indeed go on in france and Germany, which is probably where I got the association from.
given that the topspeed crew are dutch I believe though, this is probably just their perspective on things as well. As I said, I'm personally not in favor of us accents in fantasy games, sinse it feels very inappropriate to the setting for me, but as you pointed out all this is incredibly relative anyway, and the main question is about clarity, --- upon which we both agree I think.
