Q&A: Simon Blanckley - EXCLUSIVE.

Thursday, 22nd March 2007

In amongst the well document rumours for the 2007 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship season, Simon Blanckley was never mentioned before announcing plans to enter a new team in the series this season.

Simon Blanckley:
Very much so, absolutely.

Q:
You’ve put a lot of the finance for this programme in yourself, so much so that you’ve even sold your house. So you really want to make sure this goes to plan…

Simon Blanckley:
To be honest with you, I was selling the house anyway but rather than spending the money wisely on a new house I thought I’d live in the transporter for the season – or at least live somewhere smaller and spend the money on this! So yes it is important, but we aren’t under the illusion that we will be winning races and right up there. We will do our best and enjoy it really.

Q:
So what would you be happy with?

Simon Blanckley:
I think, if we can get into the top half or top ten then it would be absolutely fantastic but it won’t happen in the early races!
