2010 ROTAX MAX EURO CHALLENGE – Champion Driver quotes
Published by Bas Kaligis 12 september 2010 01:32 - Print | | ROTAX SENIOR MAX Joey Van Splunteren [NED] – DFK/Gillard
“Well, it doesn’t feel like I’ve won this yet. Over the whole weekend we just watched Tom Fawcett seeing that he could still take the title. Friday we had a bit of a problem, then Saturday we tried a lot of things with the set-up and Sunday with new tyres it just wasn’t quick enough. In the pre-final I had a bad start when I was pushed around, but I came through from P23 to 7th. When I overtook Fawcett, I was thinking already that I was the champion. In the final I drove three laps and had some contact with another kart, so I came in because I didn’t need to race. Thanks to everybody who supported me; Tim at DFK/Gillard and all the team, my mechanic and my dad.”
ROTAX JUNIOR MAX Joel Affolter [NED] – Strawberry Racing/Tonykart
“It means very much to me to win and I have to thank the whole team at Strawberry Racing for doing a good job to help me. It’s a little bit strange to be the European Champion right now - maybe tomorrow I’ll feel like it’s real! At the beginning of the year we were aiming for a top 5, but after almost winning round 1 in Salbris we were going for the Euro title. I’m looking forward to the Grand Finals now”
ROTAX MAX MASTERS Christophe Adams [BEL] – Sporting Kart Competition/Tonykart
“Winning the European Championship for the first time means a lot to; it’s just a shame that there aren’t more drivers in the Masters. Here in Genk I’m very fast – or the others are slower! I’m used to driving with the younger drivers, so I think it helps me be more competitive. I won, so I’m happy with the result and want to say thanks to my new team Sporting Kart Competition. Now, I hope to win again at the Rotax Grand Finals to take my third world title.”
ROTAX DD2 Andreas Jensen [DEN] – First Kart s.r.l/First Kart
“I honestly didn’t think I’d be the champion at the start of the season and I was probably happy to finish in the top 10, as it is my first year in the Rotax DD2. The racing’s been fantastic all the way through the series with fair drivers like Patrick Pearce and many of the others who are really good to race with. I want to say thanks to my sponsor 7-Technologies, First Kart, Guldborg Racing and my family.”
ROTAX DD2 MASTERS Dennis Kroes [NED] – Team Kroes/Tonykart
“I want to thank my mechanic Chris Groen and all the other members of Team Kroes. It’s my third time winning the European Championship at Genk and I hope to do well in La Conca at the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals because I won the world title there in 2008. It’s a special feeling to be driving in the Haase chassis as well in the new DD2 Masters class seeing that I won me previous European titles on the Haase kart.”
