Long does Manor FRenault deal

[Jonny Apex]

At last - a driver not in a rush to get to F1 and potentially risk his career. Long's decision to sign for Manor in Formula Renault and not fall victim to today's 'fashionable' route of Ford-F3 shows he has a wise head on his young shoulders. Good luck to the tike.

Its all in todays Motorsport Nwes. John Village and Status from ireland are also coming into Renault with two car teams.

With the likes of Hamilton, Griffin and Robert Bell also on the grid this championship for 2002 is looking like the one to do for drivers. Congrats to Renault on a terrific EQUAL formulae which is starting to attract the right drivers (gosh was it only two years ago in when the old spaceframe formulae was struggling to get more than 12 cars on the grid)? What a turn-around.
