GO FAST Energy WRT

M5 · 23rd Jan 12, 20:31

Hope Henning gets a car that works all of Sweden, and he can test on snow before the start.

**Coach 2** · 23rd Jan 12, 20:43

Henning was just on national television (prime time) with an explanation of the results of the MCR, and the problem with the signing of the agreement with GO FAST.
If an agreement with GO FAST was not completed, he had something else going on.

What channel was he on?

**Coach 2** · 23rd Jan 12, 21:12

NRK twice, news, and later in the sport.

**Karukera** · 24th Jan 12, 08:00

So Matt is now making a living, for the 1st time (?) with Go Fast money.

I'm relieved because i was concerned about how he would make it for his old days by his own.

If it really is true that M-Sport give a sub-standard car, wouldn't Henning and his sponsors be better off doing less rounds with a decent car than all rounds with a crappy one?

Henning did have some pretty good results in the past but the last couple of years he has been way off the pace.

Are we talking about the same Henning Solberg who scored a podium in the WRC rally immediately preceeding MCR?

The rally when Loeb, Hirvonen, P. Solberg and Ogier crashed down.

Oh lord...

**Coach 2** · 24th Jan 12, 17:44

Consider all the work he must do to obtain sponsors, all the work he does for his sponsors, all the work he does in television and radio to maintain his B-celebrity status, it is easy to understand that he can not be very well prepared in front of a WRC-rally.
But if everything work out with GO FAST, we may see the old faster Henning again, I hope.

What's the excuse of Matty?

Being dumped into a WRC car too quickly is my guess! Silly Malcolm!

Edit - 1000 posts

Latvala - Talentless?

We should team up, this time next year we will be millionaires! You as a stand up comedian and me as your agent! C'mon, whadd'ya say?

go to bed...you have school tommorow...

**GigiGalliNo1** · 25th Jan 12, 00:24

The question is:

Does Go Energy taste any good?

I have no interest in buying so...

**rjbetty** · 25th Jan 12, 08:14

So disappointed with Matty's performance.

I can't understand why he's actually getting slower every year!

I always thought he wasn't doing badly before cos he was at least improving year on year. But since 2009 he's gone from bad to worse...

Would have been good if he was figthing for podiums now in year 7 at the very least.

Sorry Matt if you do read this, but I feel this has to be said - the Monte performance WAS terrible. I hope you can do much better. If you do, I will buy some GO FAST energy drink. (I've never even heard of it. Is it sold in the UK...?)

If I was Go Fast Energy I'd be having second thoughts as Matt as a driver. I was astonished and really quite pissed when after completing the first stage of day 2 he said he wasn't pushing, and testing the car. To admit defeat so early in the Monte is the act of a fool. If Wilson tried instead of testing he actually might do ok. He could have ended up scoring points anyhow, since he probably could have outpaced PG, Abbring and Araujo at the time. His 4th Monte, the 1st for Novikov and Tanak. Novikov's rally was trouble free as was Tanak, and they weren't afraid to drive competitively.

Go Fast Energy management need a reality check, plenty of other talented drivers out there to choose from. Plus they also have more of a persona than Wilson. He is just a nothing...

Wouldn't be too surprised to hear that M-Sport give a better a deal on the cars/parts/upgrades (or something) as a result of them signing the boss' son. He's also a steady pair of hands, if you give a car to Tanak or Novikov then you know that there is going to be at least one big repair bill at some time during the season (because both are flamboyant and push hard).
