Husqvarna?

[eliseracer]

So it's a rainy boring afternoon, so I have nothing better to do than ask a stupid question about the Nurburgring. I noticed in GT4, a tiny bit before Karussell, there is a huge Husqvarna logo painted on the track. Who did this? Why? Does Husqer have anything at all to do with motorsports or automotive engineering (other than lawn tractors)? I know there are some really messed up lawn-tractor DTM races in Germany, but I didn't think they ran the 'ring.

Am I mistaking the H crest with something else, or is it really a Husqvarna logo painted randomly onto the track?!?!

This might wanna be moved to the GT4 Forum.......you'll get an answer quicker.

I would assume it's in relation to Husky motorcycles rather than lawn tractors.

Husqvarna also makes MotoX bikes, I think they're pretty popular in SuperMotard (which is a motoX bike with slicks, pretty much.)

Thanks, I guess that solves it then.

I didn't put it in the GT4 forums because, to be quite frank, I would get a more qualified answer if I had posted it here than in the GT4 section. Plus, this has nothing to do with the game.

From the 'grafiti on Nürburgring???' thread in the GT4 section. Then I googled it a minute later, 'oh, they make bikes.'
I've never heard of SuperMotard before though, thanks PR.

We've got a husqvarna sewing machine, although I'm guessing it's not a sewing machine ad

They make fairly decent machinery, but I suppose the sewing machine is not the reason for the grafiti on track.

Thanks for the answers, by the way. You ley my curious, severely bored, not-wanting-to-do-math-exam-studying mind rest in peace.
