Too bad no Lagers otherwise I'd say a Dunkel. Smooth and not heavy, like our cars handling, yet complex enough that they keep you interested.
So how about a Gose? Unfiltered and raw, like our style of racing and drivers. The multitude of flavors and options of spices can represent the wide variety of interesting participants in our class.
Yeah, a Dunkel would be good. Smooth, throaty, and not what people first picture when they think "German beer".
I like the idea! German wheat ale (kinda like I was thinking). The history is quite fitting too. Apparently it is a mostly forgotten beer that is slowly making a resurgence. It also gets looked down on by many German brews for not following the purity rules governing German beer (much like the 944 is accused of not being a "real" Porsche).

I am originally from that area (Rocklin)... which brewer's shop do you use?
I mostly go to the Original Homebrew Outlet. However, just yesterday I checked out Brewmeister in Folsom, and really liked them. They seemed more knowledgeable, friendlier, and have really low prices on fermentables.
