Thanks bookbinder

You're welcome. I'm stuck on the other one, though.

[Thesaintt]

Was thinking WSB?

[Toorak]

Seen as USA - only US teams compete in the baseball World Series

[bookbinder]

World Superbike, of course!

Super. Thanks for the link.

[bookbinder]

Glad I could help.

Nothing taken away from BB here, but I'd be more inclined to go with USA as Toorak mentions.

Mamya, as the puzzle is called Chequered Flag, that does suggest motor sport, rather than baseball, does it not?

[Mamyalynne]

It doesn't always refer to motor sports, regularly has other sports featured too.

Example - Rugby Union

I was not rubbishing your answer at all, if OP is happy then that's fine.x
