Opinon requested on Drivers

TTRMotorsport · 25 Jul 2004, 14:45 (Ref:1046693)

What do you think of these 3 drivers,
Melanie Healey
Fiona Leggate
Claire Tippet

Kicking-back · 25 Jul 2004, 14:59 (Ref:1046716)

Not the best!

Healey's in a high profile series - the SEAT Cupraa and she's never really shown the pace required.

Chris Y · 25 Jul 2004, 16:42 (Ref:1046820)

They're women... That's one thing that stands out..

What's your point here Toby? Do you want to know what people think of their driving, or their personalities, or their hair colour, or the shoes they wear?

**Tim Falce** · 25 Jul 2004, 16:44 (Ref:1046824)

What do they drive?

Rob29 · 25 Jul 2004, 17:59 (Ref:1046870)

Tin tops at club level. Fiona seems to be the best so far.She has her own website if you need to know more; www.fionaleggate.co.uk/

Kicking-back · 25 Jul 2004, 22:39 (Ref:1047114)

Fiona's got a lot of potential by the looks of things.

TTRMotorsport · 26 Jul 2004, 11:24 (Ref:1047610)

Of there Driving abilities, They all seem to have potential. But who do you think is the best

Snapperjack · 26 Jul 2004, 12:57 (Ref:1047708)

Again, why?

Rob29 · 26 Jul 2004, 13:09 (Ref:1047725)

Would be unfair to compare as they compete in different catagories.If you are looking to employ a driver,you might look at a 4th option in Christine Thompson who does 2CV racing and has a engineering background.

Kicking-back · 26 Jul 2004, 14:48 (Ref:1047826)

Melanie Healey doesn't strike me as having much potential, sadly.

Leggat does.

Tippet I don't know enough about to comment.

TTRMotorsport · 26 Jul 2004, 16:04 (Ref:1047896)

Yes i have Looked at Christine Thompson she also seems good option may get in contact with her, Does anyone have a contact number or email for Melanie Healey as Seat wont disclose that info due to them wanting her for next year.
I want them as drivers to answer your question.

Spinner · 26 Jul 2004, 16:24 (Ref:1047916)

I would rate Claire Tippet above the other two, but Fionna is a very good driver.

Don't know why they would want her.She has been mostly about last in SEATs.She also does Alfa Romeos,maybe the Alfa club could help you with a contact? Reminds me when I first saw Melanie's name it rang a bell;reason its the same as charicter from 'Eastenders' !!!

This seems a very strange request to put out in an open forum, where you would get opinions from 'anybody' and the posts could be read by the individuals concerned or friends of.

Chigley · 26 Jul 2004, 22:27 (Ref:1048289)

Methinks you are being a bit naive in thinking that personal details, phone numbers or emails are going to be released when no one has a clue as to who you are. Your profile is vague to be generous and certainly doesn't inspire confidence to release information to you.

Kicking-back · 27 Jul 2004, 12:47 (Ref:1048721)

Dare I say this is for the mythical TTR Touring Car team of 2005?

Or maybe it's related to the mythical TTR driver scholarship!

TTRMotorsport · 27 Jul 2004, 16:18 (Ref:1048932)

1. I would never sign driver purely on your opinion,
2. Yes most people do or relay messages,
3. I am not willing to tell you why i am intrested in those drivers,

Kicking-back · 27 Jul 2004, 16:21 (Ref:1048937)

TTR - What is your opinion on the three drivers you mention?

TTRMotorsport · 27 Jul 2004, 16:25 (Ref:1048945)

I think they are all confident drivers, They all seem compeetive but honestly i havent seen that much of them driving, But as all things in motorsport it comes down to money and i would think that Melanie Healey has the most because of what championship she does.

mcurtis26 · 27 Jul 2004, 17:25 (Ref:1048996)

Toby, if you haven't seen them drive then why are you so keen on them? It doesn't seem very professional to ask an open forum what drivers you should sign for a series as high profile as toca.

Rob29 · 27 Jul 2004, 17:49 (Ref:1049026)

Ah,now we are getting down to it.If you are looking for pay drivers please do not waste our time with such requests.Why not go and find sponsors yourself,and then find the best drivers?

**Craig** · 27 Jul 2004, 17:54 (Ref:1049031)

haha!! This guy makes me laugh every time he posts - he really is the new John Batchelor!!!

mcurtis26 · 27 Jul 2004, 18:25 (Ref:1049066)

Perhaps they could go into partnership?

mcurtis26 · 27 Jul 2004, 19:02 (Ref:1049102)

But if you genuinely want opinions of which is msot talented, not richest....

I don;t really now much about Tippet, so can't comment there. Healey has been a backmacker in seats and seems to have really stuggled for pace at times. Fiona Leggate has been putting in some good performances in britcar and seems the best of the lot.
