Q&A: Matthew Wilson - EXCLUSIVE.

Saturday, 29th December 2007

Stobart Ford's Matthew Wilson speaks exclusively to Crash.net Radio's Rob Wilkins.

MW:
There is not much time before it all kicks off again. I will be at home at Christmas and then hopefully in the New Year I can try the new Pirelli tyres before we head out to Monte Carlo. We will do some training and hopefully a little bit of driving at some point too.

How do you think you will get on in 2008 and what are your targets?

MW:
Like I said, I just want to try and keep this run going and build on that. There is going to be some new challenges - no mousse, one-make tyre manufacturer and so on. That might spice things up. We will just have to see. It would be nice to try and drive on the tyres before the start of the year, just to get some idea what they are like. Overall I just want to build on what I did on the last three events and try and make that a regular occurrence.

Crash.net:
The calendars have been confirmed recently as far ahead as 2009 and 2010. What do you think of this idea of rotating events?

MW:
It will certainly spice it all up a little bit. It will be difficult for the events though to be in one year and then out the next. But from a drivers’ point of view it does make it more interesting. Going to a different rally each year should be good. Hopefully I will have experience of each one before we do go to them and then you can use that experience. OK you are away for a year but things don’t change too much. It is interesting but for the events it makes it very difficult and for the fans in this country to not have Rally GB in 2010, I am sure they won’t be too pleased about that.
