At the same meeting we were also able to catch a few moments with a 1/12th scale regular, Phil Davies, runner up in this years championship. (2000/1)

Paul Ash: Phil, how many years have you raced?
|
Phil Davies: Good heavens. I got my first car in 1980, I think my first proper organised race was in 1982.
|
|
PA: When did you start 1/12th scale?
|
PD: That was around 1982
|
|
PA: What was your first 1/12th scale car?
|
PD: It was a Jomac Lightning
|
|
PA: What equipment do you run and who are your current sponsors?
|
PD: I’m sponsored by Associated, Reedy, LRP, Jaco and Protoform.
|
|
PA: Who do you most admire among the other drivers?
|
PD: In 1/12th scale, David Spashett, consistent, smooth and fast. He seems to deliver results with ease, but Andrew Moore is very, very close.
|
|
PA: Do you have any tips for beginners?
|
PD: If you can walk the racing line and know where the racing line is, put your car on it when you are driving. Concentrate on doing that first before going fast.
|
|
PA: Thanks for your time Phil
