As for the future, David is hopeful that FX Motor Sports will again compete in the BRC in 2009: "At one point the BRC was all sorted and there was talk of a possible P-WRC campaign too. But now obviously with the way things are financially all over the world I think the P-WRC will be knocked on the head fairly quickly," he continued.

"We have to work hard now to try and get the budget secured for next year. We all want to be out there again doing something. It would be a shame to waste what we have learnt this year by not doing anything else again.

"But we need to work to get some more sponsors and some more funds so we can go out on the BRC and have a good go at it. The BRC looks really good next year with the format of events they have and GB not being in there is a massive saving in terms of costs."
