Phil Andrews |
Partners This Man At Magny-Cours |

Is Michael Mallock jumping for joy at the prospect of partnering Phil Andrews in the Swara Tampolli this weekend?
Phil Andrews tested the Tampolli-Nissan yesterday at Llandow In Wales, and was full of praise. "My first impressions are very good. The car is easy to drive and the IES Nissan engine gives off loads of torque and is very responsive."
Michael Mallock was also present for the test. "We've just made a few changes since I drove it for the first time in Brno a few weeks ago, but overall it compares very favourably with the Pilbeam MP84B that I have driven up until then."
"Bloody hell, he's tall isn't he!" commented Andrews on meeting Mallock.
"I'm a Magny Cours virgin," explained Mallock. "It's actually my first ever race in France." There's a suspicion that his target is to race on another - rather longer - French track next year. Can he make a car levitate like this too? That should be useful, if it's another wet Le Mans.
