I congratulate Riyaz Kurji.
As far as I am concerned he is my ARC champion. It is very painful that our Kurji won three events and is not Africa champion, and another driver who didn’t win any event, is champion. The old scoring system (10, 6, 4, 3, 2 and 1) was surely better!

That aside, I have been thoroughly impressed by Lwakataka. He has really matured and was the driver-of-the-rally considering the car he was driving.

Ettore (Storchi) is a breath of new air in the sport. It would be easy to market him because he is popular with fans. To be as quick as he was in the sections and keep the car on the road at his age(19), says a lot.

I felt like being there, but then it is another thing to defy the doctor’s advice. I won’t be back until 2007.
