correction:
Eion's car is not an ex-works car. It is a full works spec car built for him as his prize for winning the Euro 147 series. It is also the official Alfa colour (or maybe N-Technology didn't know which was the correct colour). |

Was it not built for James Thompson to race?

Not sure if they mean that Alfa in particular was driven by JT, or that JT has driven Alfa 156's like it ? |

I assume it's the same basic car that Thompson, Giovanardi and co drove in the WTCC last year. Anyway, well done to Eoin for doing such a good debut job with it - fingers crossed they will now complete the season.

And well done to Quest also. For a team that's not run a car for a year or two (and who weren't great back then anyway) it all looked pretty good.

definetely the old alfa 156 still has some life left in her after all and eion showed genuine pace even with 45kg of ballast so with more experience and the alfa sorted and good under his feet eion could be fighting near the front of the grid or at least in the top 5 by the end of the season

He's a great guy and if anyone can in a tin top, he can. With a lucky draw on the reverse grid he could be a great bet for a top 6 finish alright.

Well, with less ballast for Donnington, things I imagine are looking good

hell yeah thinks are looking good for donington there has to be a strong chnace eoin is going to finish at least in the top 10 and i feel he may finish in the top 5 in all the races if things go well for him dont take this the wrong way anybody but in a way he is a bit of an underdog he doesnt have big team funding like dynamics and VXR do and also those dinosaurs WSR and seat but despite this he did really well at croft and he will do fantastic at donington
