So if in the uk we could have the option for astro as these drivers are supposed to be the best then lets see it. The us guys wont come first then.

Nonsense, cavalieri,maifield, tebo, cragg, martin,neumann etc are all world class drivers, the top twenty in the world would still be top twenty irrespective of the surface, because they are great drivers. are you seriously suggesting that the American drivers could not win on grass/astro or any other surface than packed clay. they would adapt and come up with a setup and style that worked, they would adapt quickly and would be on the pace straight away because they are great drivers. assuming your theory is correct why did a non american TQ 2wd and a non american almost snatch the win in 4wd?.
