JHo -Tim, congratulations on qualifying for the big one - how does it feel to be in the World?
TB - Thank you. It feels great! After neither my Brother or Dad have made it this far it's nice to have our name finally on the grid. I'm excited at the opportunity of being in the world, although I would also like to be watching it as it looks like it's going to be an awesome race with the people in it! 
                                                      
JHo - Nervous?

TB - No not really, I'm just trying see it as another race haha although most likely when I get onto the grid, lined up and belted in, looking around into the crowd at who's there and who's on track, I will be shitting myself. :)


JHo - What's your game plan? How do you see it panning out for you?
TB - My game plan is to try and keep all the wheels on it! With luck I've had this year I'd be happy with that haha. With it being such a big race you never know, after the first corner (and 3rd restart!) I'd be happy with a finish as long as I was competitive and a top 10 finish would be amazing, anything else is a bonus! 

JHo - If you became world champion - whats the first thing you would do?
TB - Woah! Steady on there! Your talking to 817 not number 7 :). 

JHo - Away from the world, what else would you like to achieve in the sport?
TB - Win a final, get to red grade and maintain it and enjoy my racing.
About to burn rubber, and wear out some tyres too....


That's the way to do it!

JHo - Whats been your best moment?
TB - Up to now, exchanging blows with Speaky at Northampton WQR. Also qualifying on pole for the UK Open last year

JHo - If you won the lottery what would you do??
TB - Buy a touring car, have a massive house and land for playing with cars and buy my brother a digger! 

JHo - Any Thank yous?
TB - I would like to thank my family, especially my Dad for the help they've gave me getting to this point now and putting up with me. Also Rob Mitchell for the service he's given us this year, with parts and the endless supply of bumpers :)
