If that goes all the way through until the end then we might not just have two guys on the last lap of the last race, we might have four guys going for the title and that would be pretty amazing.

One of the drivers you mentioned near the start who is no longer in British Touring Cars, Rob Huff has of course signed for Chevrolet in the WTCC and everyone is expecting James Thompson to, at some point, be announced with Alfa Romeo. What kind of impact do you think Huff and Thompson can make on the world scene?
Ben Edwards:
They are both great drivers and I think they’ll make a good impact. I mean look at what Andy Priaulx, what a star he was last season winning the championship. I know he was in the
BMW but James will be in the Alfa which is a very strong car. Of course Rob’s car is not proven yet, but Rob has everything it takes, there is no doubt. He showed that last year, he is still a young touring car driver but he has everything that it takes. James Thompson is one of the world’s best, a two time BTCC title winner now, and I think they will make a big impact.

Looking at the F3 and GT package. There are changes in F3 for this season, we no longer have the Scholarship class which has now been replaced by the National class to bring in more competitors, what can we expect from Formula Three in the upcoming season?
Ben Edwards:
I think we can expect a lot, it is a very open championship coming into this season, which is the way that you want it. Last year, although funnily enough it didn’t turn out quite as we had expected in the beginning of the year, we all thought Nelson Piquet would come in and wipe the floor with everybody. He didn’t early on, but as the season progressed he got his act together and won the championship.
