Typical of those British, doing something nice again no wonder all of South America is against them.

I would imagine the rings that make up the Audi trademark have greater recognition across the world.

Seriously, given the track record of Brazil to construct buildings and structures that are inherently weak, I hope the four tonne rings don't fall down.

Good idea to save money. Use the same crap from the last games as it is all a big white elephant.
So they put it in a crappy area of the city so if anyone actually dares go there they get mugged, nice thinking.
