I don't think another national championship has this in this difficult economic times, especially as there was also Loix in the 207 S2000, 2 Polo's S2000, some GT cars, Lancer's and Impreza's, BMW's, some small cars and much historic cars.Quote:

Ok. Ta.
France has a good championship. Maybe better than Belgium (Loix with 207 all the season like Robert, and Sarrazin with 307, plus all the very good national drivers).Quote:

In comparison with Belgium, then Belgium does have a better championship (although I would say only Tsjoen, Snijers and Loix are better than the 5 names I just mentioned).
What was your first car? “I had my first car when I was seven: it was a brown Ford Escort MkII. I bought it for £25 and sold it for £30, so it’s clear that I inherited the Wilson family genes!” :rotflmao:
another staged interview from the official M-sport web site...
Will any reporter ever have the balls to ask Slowson his opinion on his progress and why he bothers with the sport ??
That's perhaps the most ridiculous and meaningless interview I have ever read.Quote:
