Glad to hear he was awarded the win in the end.

Shame he's in a Chevy.

He is a god, but did i hear right, he said in an interview on sunday which was broadcasted over the tannoy, that he was glad he wasnt driving a Seat diesel.

 

[EmDee]

Come to think of it I'd rather drive a petrol myself though...

We went to the same event and spent time chatting to him about this site, SEAT and the motoracing in general. Found him to be a down to earth bloke and very friendly with lots of time for us.

Had many conversations with him over the years during the race weekends, and never found him to be arrogant or dismissive, he always appreciated the support and encouragement he got from SCN SEAT fans.

Maby he just didnt like the diesel leon. I bet he'd love to be in a petrol leon again. I remember him sayin a few years ago after he won his first race in it ''that leon is some car''

I have met him on a few occasion and have found him to be spot on bloke.Think in the big picture when he goes anywhere how many people want to speak to him,some people are going to be missed out.
