I think it will be Ant Davidson he should have done it last year, but one of the finalists objected to him for some reason

How old is Danny Watts?
How old is Christian England? Does anyone know how long have each of these raced in the class they're currently in and what they've done before? Daniel http://www.DanielRacing.com |

Well Dan, just in case your not being sarcastic,
Danny Watts is 22 & Christian England is 21. Watts i believe won the Formula 1st series in 1999 before moving on to 3 years of Frenault, finishing 10th, 6th and now as champ. As for England, this is his 2nd year of FFord after finishing 17th last year. I haven't a clue what he did before that. |

Logic says it has to be either Danny or Adam however it could easily be Westley... And If my information is right then the 6th judge is NOT a former winner but a former multiple nominee. |

Watts raced something like a 30 car grid with strong entrants. Carrol raced against Scholarship F3 which isnt exactly the cradle of champions as far as depth of field goes. And once Dahlgren showed up he had to fight harder

I assume you're talking about...
Daniel Eagling is this year's MG X Power K Sports 1600 champion. He's 22 and from Norfolk, and as well as racing he's been Antonio Pizzonia's mechanic in Formula 3000. He's looking to step up to GTs next year. A fine driver, it is difficult to rate him against the others because of the different categories in which they compete. I've got a feeling he will show better than some of the others in there in the driving tests. He won't win though. |

Did Watts really do better than Carroll ?...im not so sure...Danny knew the cars and the series very well as it was his 3rd year in there. Adam had done a F3 race last year , but hadnt done many races at all.

I think its unfair to try and compare drivers from Renault and BF3 and FF for that matter, to try and say one is better than the other is very hard to judge yes Danny had 3 years in Renault but he did win the championship against a good field, and you could also say that when Dahlgren came into F3 he outshone Adam but again he won the championship in his first year. I think that all six drivers have done well this year and may the best one win

Im sure all the drivers are very worthy , its just 3 years in Renualts is a fairly long time . Danny done very good job this year , but was pushed hard at times by some drivers that were a lot less experienced than he was.
Anyway ,he is a worthy finalist for sure...i wasnt trying to take anything away from him. |

ditto...Adam was outstanding this year and Dahlgren was too. Remember Adam was nearly 100 points ahead of Clivio...Danny did really well but I don't think he really turned any heads.
I am biased though but I wish them all luck. |

When you say alot less experienced drivers than Watts I assume you must mean Green and Hamilton.Well consider this.Green & Hamilton started testing FRenault at the beginning of October last year - 2,3 and 4 times a week.Then they both did the winter series,then mid winter they went to Spain and did more tesing and then even more testing right up to the start of official FRenault testing! Then guess what? - they did more testing right up to the first race!By the time the 1st race came round for this years championship they had both spent virtually 6 months strapped into a FRenault chassis! I reckon both of them have spent more time in a FRenault car than Danny has in 3 seasons ! Watts was the best driver....period.Him or Carroll will get the award.

and lets not forget Hamilton and Green have been racing in the Formula Renault Eurocup this year as well, through the UK champiuonship. Hamilton, in particular, had not lived up to his hype until the Spa race, after which he "clicked". If you can afford to do it, you get some invaluable experience during the year that way.
Danny did a very professional job. He was a worthy champion this year. Fast and consistent. His test will be F3. |

firstly , i never said he wasnt a worthy champion at all....
but im sure after 2 years in the series is a bit different to be able to do some testing and the winter series last year . Surely you get to know where you stand in a race situation much better m compared to a driver making his debut in car racing . i think quite a few drivers proved them selves quite well this year Last edited by Sato san; 12 Oct 2002 at 02:37. |

Well, it would be difficult for him to say who he'd vote for yet anyway, seeing as the contenders haven't spent time driving the cars and talking to the panel yet...
