I'm interested, who would you suggest is? I believe it'd be Britain, as they have the most established racing system/farm system out of any country, with the majority of the best drivers in the world, past and present, having raced in Britain/for a British team at some point. 10 drivers from Britain have won the F1 world le, more than any other country/kingdom. Those drivers have won a combined 15 drivers les, again more than any other country. The F1, GP2 and GP3 champions this year are all English. Most of the successful team principals in F1 are British. Britain has the most wins by drivers in Le Mans history at 29. Britain has the best Touring car championship outside of the World Touring car championship. Multiple time champions in the world rally championship, world superbike championship, formula 2, formula 3, MotoGP etc etc.

Britain have not only dominated F1 with its drivers but also with its constructors. Teams such as Williams, Lotus, McLaren, Cooper, Brabham, Benetton, Tyrrell, BRM and Brawn have all won championships in F1, and a combined 37 championship between them. The next closest is Italy with 19 championship (all Ferrari).

I may and probably do sound pompous, but I'm genuinely interested to see who reckon it is, there are a few contenders I guess.

I mean, you do have a point in saying how dominant they have been in their racing series and also right about the drivers it has produced and how historic and prestigious the events are but to proclaimed they are the king of the whole motorsports world is stretching it.

I'd say they're the kings of international racing for sure.

When you put the racing series such as F1, Rally, MotoGP, NASCAR, Indy, Supercross etc all in one pool, I mean hard to pick 1 as best of all.

I hear ya, despite a lot of British people claiming that NASCAR is 'just turning left', I don't see any British guys dominating that one
