Robert Foster-Jones took an emphatic KF2 win in the second round of the 2007/8 Winter Series (2 December) at Shenington, Oxfordshire.
In conditions that most people would prefer to experience from the comfort of their living rooms, Robert won his first heat. In the second, he came from 22nd on the grid to 6th – in the wet and on slicks – to further underline his talent.
Having secured a front-row position for the final alongside James Abraham, Rob passed his rival before putting in a faultless drive, to win the race by the length of the main straight.
Foster-Jones says: “I’m over the moon. I didn’t think it would happen for me. I thought I’d come here and really have to battle. Thankfully my main rivals had bad days but when we go to the next round, I’m sure they’ll be after me.”
But before then, Robert and the RFM team are heading to Vendrell in Spain for the annual Copa Campeones (Champions Cup) - and this year’s race is going to be tougher than ever.
Rob explains why: “This year’s event has attracted a big entry and lots of the European teams have put their top drivers in – Gary Catt was down to race but can’t now make it, which is a pity. Still, it’ll be great to go up against the likes of Armand Convers, Alban Varrutti and Anthony Abbasse. It’ll be a hard race, but if I’ve got the speed to get away from them, then I think I’ll be okay. I can’t wait.”
