Susie Stoddart in Autosport this week

[The DJ 27]

Really hope she goes well this year, and makes the step up to F3000/F2 or whatever it's going to be called in 2005. I was at the FRenault test at Oulton last Tuesday and it further underlined how good she is. Anyone who was at the TOCA meeting at Oulton last season will recall her fabulous drive where she broke the lap record over and over again. Admitedly she was in clean air due to an early problem, but being consistently quick over several laps takes real talent.

And she's fit

[The DJ 27]

Yes she's very very quick. She deserves some major backing to help her into F1. She's easily good enough to hack it in F1. Plus that can only help Bernie's quest to bring F1 to a wider audience

[The DJ 27]

Very true. Marc Hynes in 1999 is another prime example of a great talent wasted. I was just saying that based on what I've seen of her driving, I think she could get to F1 and do well, provided she gets some serious backing. I think it's criminal that so much British talent is wasted because company's can't be bothered to sponsor them.
