// in his words
"Throughout my racing career from karting to single seaters and touring cars, I have fought hard, giving 100% dedication to my team and myself in terms of fitness, race craft and focus.
The Renault Aftersales Team re-signed me in 2006, which allows me a 2nd year to showcase my talents in British motor racing to future race teams by achieving podiums and wins, with the goal to take the crown of Renault Clio Cup Champion.
To achieve this objective would pave the way towards a seat in a Works Touring Car Team for 2007 and cement the Renault Clio Cup as the stepping stone in UK motorsport for touring car drivers into the future"
