2010 ROTAX MAX EURO CHALLENGE – Champion Driver quotes

by

Karting Genk, Belgium: 5TH September, 2010

ROTAX SENIOR MAX     Joey Van Splunteren [NED] – DFK/Gillard

“Well, it doesn’t feel like I’ve won this yet. Over the whole weekend we just watched Tom Fawcett seeing that he could still take the title. Friday we had a bit of a problem, then Saturday we tried a lot of things with the set-up and Sunday with new tyres it just wasn’t quick enough. In the pre-final I had a bad start when I was pushed around, but I came through from P23 to 7th. When I overtook Fawcett, I was thinking already that I was the champion. In the final I drove three laps and had some contact with another kart, so I came in because I didn’t need to race. Thanks to everybody who supported me; Tim at DFK/Gillard and all the team, my mechanic and my dad.”
