This year I do think it is very open, you have some young guys who are coming into the series who will be fast right from the word go. There’s a few international races they have to cope with and big tracks that they need to deal with which is fantastic for their careers and it really helps that they will be racing on those circuits so I think it will be wide open and that’s what I like, not being able to predict who will win the championship so we all have to watch and see what happens, I love it!
Crash.net:
Also an interesting season in prospect in the GTs, in 2004 we saw Scuderia Ecosse come in with the
Ferrari and there was the battle with the Gruppe M Porsche which, again nearly came down to the end of the season, and it’s something we can look forward to again in 2005.

Yeah I think so, and there is a huge amount of interest in the championship generally, so I think there will be a lot of strength in depth this year. I think you’ll see quite big grids, the two classes are going to be fought hard and it’s going to be very interesting. Mike Jordan has teamed up with Michael Caine now and that is a fairly formidable driver line-up sharing the John Guest Porsche, we aren’t quite sure what Scuderia Ecosse are doing just yet, they might be back. There are some beautiful cars lining up, the TVRs of Lawrence Tomlinson, and the drivers we have coming in, Warren Hughes and Johnny Kane. The standard of drivers and the whole level of the British GT championship is climbing leaps and bounds.
