conversation, not least with rival, Jason<br />

Plato.<br />

He attacks every season with the same<br />

mindset. To win the title. There is no<br />

doubt that there is a fourth title in there<br />

somewhere and God willing and with a<br />

good tail wind, he has every chance of<br />

making it happen. He is not, by any<br />

means, past his prime, in fact, I believe his<br />

finest moment is still yet to come.<br />

Will he do it this year? who knows, but I<br />

think he has a good chance to challenge<br />

after having a year to iron out the kinks of<br />

the new style Honda Civic Type R.<br />

I do sometimes think back to last season<br />

with a whole bag of ‘what if’s’, After all, at<br />

the mid season point in 2018, he was in<br />

3rd place.<br />

It was always going to be a big ask to put<br />

a serious challenge in during the car’s<br />

debut season but that is not the case for<br />

<strong>2019</strong>. Both drivers have established<br />

themselves, the car has shown its<br />

potential, especially on those tracks with<br />

the longer straights. Its low drag and slick<br />

profile is a definite advantage, however, I<br />

would be interested to see how it does this<br />

year on those circuits that favour the rear<br />

wheel drives such as the BMW’s and<br />

Suburu’s. As far as the circuits go, we will<br />

be visiting Thruxton twice which was very<br />

strong for the team last season but we also<br />

lose Rockingham which wasn’t.<br />

All I can say is “Let the<br />

tyres see the tracks”<br />
