RIKB should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Former World Superbike champ, Karl Fogarty has been testing a couple of Alpha's this week.

He didn't think He was that good, but said that the team were quite excited.

BMP have said that this is the sort of celebrity they are looking for next year.

How well would Foggy do converting from bikes to cars? and is it fair to expect him to start his car career in a premier series?

I read that in Autosport the team was very impressed with Foggy's performance and Wayne Gardner has successfully made the transition (face it: he's on pole at Bathurst!!) from two to four wheels.

I see no reason why he can't develop into a decent Touring Car driver, but it will only come with experience. He won't dominate from the start, that's for sure...

How would he do converting to cars?

Well John Surtees did OK. Terry Rhymer's doing reasonably. I see no reason why he can't be a reasonable driver, but I don't expect world stardom, the same as he had with bikes...
