I had planned to make the trip across to this one but work has conspired against me and I can't make it now

Looks like Guy Wilks may come with Proton. That would be fantastic, he would be for sure one of the fastest

That would be great indeed, and it wold be also very interesting to see the times he can do compared to tough competition of other brands.

"PG" would also be OK for me...or is he concentrating on WRC again instead of proton?
That would be a nice "line up" for Proton in 2010: Petter Solberg & PG Anderson...but Wilks certainly diserves the drive

Looks nice already
Hope that the offic Skoda's will come to Ypres also..but the chance off that isn't that high...

I thought that Yeray Lemes was also @ the start in 2008??
I hoped to see him there in 2009...
