Well it's good to know that Gerwyns heart is in the right place, even thyough to one or two of us newbies his comments do seem a little too negative, and, more importantly, it's good that TM is a bigger enought place to not only tolerate these comments, but, in fact encourage them in the name of balance and diversity.

Gerwyn, although I don't know you, I am begining to like you already.

However, back to his comments about Champagne Charlies latest exploits in the Gumball. I think G. is right, it is cheap publicity, but not in the way he meant, as an introduction to the American market, what better way is their to prove the car and show people across America what it is and what it is capable of?

Additionally, think of it as a major shake down test, if CM finds stuff he doesn't like, which he will, or things that don't work as they should, he will be in the best position to get them improved on his return.

Whilst I haven't really 'followed' the Gumball, I get the feeling that it is a much improved and organised event than it was all those years ago when it was a bunch of nutters crossing the country as fast as they could, even though that image still sticks, not helped by the tragic accident.
