"some interesting results on French regional events" Well ... We can say he is clearly slow, even for that level. Ok sometimes he is on the podium, but when you look the classification, you can see he is regularly beaten by R3 cars (well drived, but R3 against WRC ...). Of course, there's worst drivers than him, but he is not especially good ...Quote:

And it's always nice to see such nice car on small events, even if they are not amazingly drived.
They probably search for that position through other channels. I assume they have some kind of shortlist of people and are contacting them directly.Quote:

D'oh...
An interview with Martin Prokop after his first race, Mugello 12h, where he was driving really well. He talks about his possible change of motor sport and also about Robert Kubica.
sounds pretty excited about racing. Do you know what position they got in that race?Quote:
