Charles Hollings also to return to Mackie Motorsport to compete Formula Renault
Just thought Id let you hear the news first. Charles Holings, who for the past two years has been running with us in Ford on cheap learning deals, is returing this year to compete in Formula Renault. For us he is a local lad who could show the rest of the field how we do it here in Yorkshire.
If youve seen him racing before, tell me what you think of him. I know Paul Raynor will have a lot to say |

he's got the potential to be really quick - rockingham winter series showed that. i guess like anyone it's just a matter of finding out how to go quick all the time. it's a great chance for him to show he's good, i hope he makes the most of it.

Is this the Charles Hollings that finished twelfth in the FRenault Winter Series?
Can't see him him pushing Steven Kane somehow. |

I'm still undecided about Kane. He was blown into the weeds by Gary Turkington when they tested together for Motaworld at Pembrey. perhaps he just didn't gel with the team but with Mackie it might well be different. People who have watched him extensively say he takes a long time to adapt but when he does he's electrifying. Let's wait and see. I'm sure Hollings could be strong, too.
Mackie, of course, have got a big mountain to climb to get on an equal footing with Motaworld, manor, Fortec, Falcon (Village) etc but I hope they can do it. |

He could be one of the surprises of the year, I definitely think that he should be better in Formula Renault than Formula Ford. Mackie are one of the great unknowns this year. Last edited by Paul Rayner; 23 Jan 2002 at 15:03. |

He's certainly fairly good, but nothing overly special. I'd expect with the level playing field of FR he'd get in the top 6 regulary but i wouldn't expect major fireworks or anything.
