What do you think Masami thinks of Micheal Schumacher's 7 titals, just a nice start?

I met him at the 93 Worlds at Basildon, very polite even though I caught him coming out of the toilet, scribbled all over the copy of RRC or whatever mag I had at the time, still have it somewhere

He's got a little pile of transmitters too.

I'd love to see his pile of batteries.

Thought he had a name of being a bit of a "DIRTY" driver if he couldn't get through

he took no prisoners when he was going through.... still an awesome guy and talent to be on top of his game for so long in electric, although the TC Title has always eluded him

I saw him at Basildon 93. He had a whole suitcase full of cells. 3 layers of them. His old man was so bored he built him a new rc10 and then was trying to throw bolts in to a socket of an electric driver he had. Truly awesome
