it will be the 'bird' that wins.
these competitions are not based on talent but on what is best for the promotion. if a girl wins it then the organisers will be thinking that more girls will enter next year and therefore more money generated..
I am not sure how much money is generated by this competition as the original company SYW Limited has gone into liquidation. A new company "So World limited" has appeared in its place leaving some people out of pocket!
Tiffany also has the backing of Autosport as she was featured as the one to watch. However she still has to beat Rui Chagas and the other fellow. I met Rui last year when he tested a Formula 3 car for Reon and he was not that quick then.

Rui did a few Formula REnault races did he not ?
He also did all the Seat Cupra cup last year.
Have they changed the rules for this years competition then as I'm sure there was something about not having and used a racing license for at least the 12 months prior to entering last time (or something similar)?

Quite a few things have changed! One thing I can say is that Jensen Button will have nothing more to do with the organisers of the show. The organisers decided to include experienced drivers because they have sponsorship already in the bank!
i think you are all being very unfair on tiffany. if she wins everyone will say "the girl won its unfair, based on looks yah yah yah" this however is bullshit. she has been karting for the last ten years and is very competitive. she is the highest ranked female karter in the country at the moment so a bit of respect is due!...

I respect is due to Tiffany, Rui and Brady! However this competition is about who brings the most sponsorship. If Max reads this, may be he will tell us more.
I'm sure these 3 drivers are all very talented in there own right and the TV considerations were minimal in their progression to the final stage. However, during the elimination rounds, Tim runs a sponsor's wildcard entry system to allow failed competitors with sponsorship funds to get back into the next round, regardless of talent. The going rate this year was £1,200 towards Tim's racing in the Sports 2000 Championship, so any entrants for next year should have their cheque book handy to ward off early elimination.

The sponsors wildcard system kind of makes sense anybody who knows how the sport really works will tell you finding a keeping sponsors is equal to if not more important than driving skill.
Why do they need to pay Matthews £1200? If this is true; then he should hand it back.
