This year's Azerbaijan Grand Prix turned out to be the most exciting race in several years. It certainly left an impression on fans of the sport.

And where they managed to become a bit of an Internet meme by plastering absurdly self-congratulatory "Well Done Baku" and "Baku Welcomed Us All" signs around the circuit.

I agree this is the same way I found out about the country, was remarking about this just the other day actually.

They're part of Eurovision/Eurosong. That's the only place I've ever heard of them.

Also their name as pronounced by our commentators kinda sounds like a joke country that doesn't actually exist, but everyone is in on the joke and letting them compete.

That's probably why Azerbaijan is going to stick in my memory forever. Even if I have no idea wherw it is on the map.
