Hi Mark

Thats my point in the above post, it is impossible to run a competition like this and everyone to be impartial you are all linked in some way with the sponsors, judges etc via training, equipment, soft franchises, parts, even on a personal level and i think this is taken as read and seems to not bother anyone

So if Mark is linked with Bosch and does some training for them part time, why does this make him such an outcast or any different from the other competitors, as you say yourself ---<"From my experience last year the final stage is all down to how well you perform on the day. I think it would take a bad loser to make any claims of a fix!">---- If Mark had won would all the rest cry FIX........i think not

The very fact that Crystal Communications new about Marks status and seemed happy about it, only to get cold feet at the last minute in case of a scandal........this is the type of thing that spreads ill feeling
