WHAT’S ON YOUTUBE
Not many can claim to be a world champion, let alone to have done so three times as our
Q&A recipient in this week’s MN, Andy
Priaulx, can claim.
Scaling the peak for the first time can be daunting, and Priaulx’s inaugural World Touring Car Championship crown was very much won the hard way.
Entering its doubleheader conclusion he was in a three-way fight with Dirk Muller and Fabrizio Giovanardi – a point shy of the former and four ahead of the latter. The finale took place at unforgiving and unpredictable Macau. Priaulx’s consistency had served him well that year, indeed he’d only won one race all season. And it would serve him well again in a madcap showdown.
