I echo that sentiment. Scott has proved even more so what a great driver he is this year. One could argue that his spectacular 2011 success was expected because he was with the best team, had a great car and a year of experience under his belt where he'd already demonstrated his talent by finished as runner up in the UKFF championship in what was considered an uncompetitive car.
But this year he arrived unprepared; his car was less than perfect at the start of the season (letting him down when he was due for a dream debut win at round one at Snetterton) and he had to go through the upheaval of switching teams mid-season. Both teams that he drove for were highly inexperienced compared to championship regulars such as Antel, Fortec, Hillspeed and MGR and of course there was the highly rated and hotly fancied Seb Morris (as featured in Britain's next F1 star on Sky Sports F1) and Josh Webster the 2011 championship runner up returning for a third campaign.
You have to admit that the odds were stacked against Scott this time around; especially as two of the six circuits were completely new to him with no possibility of a pre-event test. But he came through all of this and pulled it off and showed that he could compete well in a car with wings on when others suggested he would struggle.
Great job Scott! Unfortunately the establishment and those in a position to assist you seem unwilling to do so but you have shown that you have staying power and resilliance and a will and dedication to succeed.
Let's hope you get the opportunity you richly deserve to continue!
