James Thompson /Tony Pond

[stockhatcher]

bit of a crap thread this, but has anyone else noticed the similarity between, 80's rally man Tony Pond, and 21st century racer James Thompson... has Pondie's spirit been recreated in Thommo?

you are joking surely pond was a maestro thompson is good but nowhere as good

pondie was indeed a hero, but if you base it on his results, what did he actaully win? he was always in unfancied equipment, whereas thommo has at least won 2 btcc titles, and was pretty competitive in a private alfa this year. additionally pondie was a rally man who raced, and thommo is a racer who rallied.

they look the same and drive the same. imho
