Paul Ricard though is an awful, awful track for racing. Very few overtaking opportunities, very boring from the spectator's / audience's POV, and the ridiculous run-off makes it a joke with everyone constantly avoiding wheel to wheel racing. |

Great driving by Borkovic
Also Comini was fantastic in race 2. Hyundai is still unbeatable. Disappointed by Richard, Tassi and Files. Look like the biggest competition for Borkovic will be Azcona, Vernay and Nagy. |

Gobsmacked by Comini. He almost manufactured a miracle driving that Japanese rally car. What a great drive!
Files did another big mistake. He is not up to his reputation. |

So, for you, all drivers have to perfect all of the time - I don't think so. |

When he was 18 he raced in historic and was Rookie of the Year in his first year. When he was 19 he won a Historic championship, the youngest ever to do that. When he was 20 he won Rookie of the Year in the UK Clio Cup. When he was 21 he finished 6th overall in the UK Clio Cup. When he was 22 he won the UK Clio Cup Championship and the EuroCup Clio Championship. When he was 24 he was 3rd overall in the Italian Clio Cup. When he was 25 he won TCR Germany. When he was 26 he won TCR Middle East and TCR Germany again and was 3rd overall in TCE Europe. I think that any nations press would regard him as their national treasure. I hope that provides some 'balance' to your negative comments towards him. |

Without trying to mess up with you, I still need to say I don't see any outstanding championship on your list. Let's see what happens this season in TCR Europe Series. He didn't impress me in Paul Ricard.

What happened in Adria was in though battle on a track where it is not easy to overtake. For the Ricard, my idea is that all the Hondas were a little bit on the limit... Files is a good touring car driver, let's judge at the end of the year. I saw also Vernay struggling in the fights pushing the other cars out, so it wasn't easy for the non Hyundai drivers in this TCR opening |

Well, not many touring car drivers have a record as good as his so maybe you need to let us know who you are comparing him with so we can understand the standards that you are measuring him against. It would be good to know that.

So, will the Target drivers dominate at Zandvoort?

The Comini and Subaru dream is already finished. Comini will skip Zandvoort but he and his team will continue in the series with a new car...let's see what it could be
Wonder what will happen to the Subaru this season. Last year the car showed promising pace in TCR Italy but I think that the competition made a big step this year in preparation of the WTCR |

If I understand correctly THX Racing gets technical support from fellow Belgian team DG Sport. |
