With his arduous winter testing schedule proving there really is no rest for the rapid and a 2008 programme that is set to include an assault on the prestigious Euro Max Challenge in France, Belgium, Germany and Czechoslovakia as well as the British Stars and Super 1 series' things look rather different now for a driver who as little as three months ago didn't even know where he would be competing next season, and whose family this time last year feared they would lose their house in order to keep his racing career alive.
I'm really looking forward to the European races! Tom enthused. I love going to Genk [in Belgium], and I think the highlight of the year this year was my podium there in Stars. It's good to visit tracks in different countries and race against different people; it really helps to raise your profile.
My aims are the same as they always are, he added, without so much as a hint of hesitation. To win, win and win.
