INTERVIEW WITH NIKEMIKERULES BY MAX KIDMARK
MAX KIDMARK:- So then Mike, How does it feel to be the class c and more importantly the overall Championship winner of series 1?
NIKEMIKERULES:- Its honestly come as a shock, had a very strong start to the season and managed to keep out of trouble when it mattered and bagging the points. But over the moon to be the champion, still recovering from the after party at RML.
​
MAX KIDMARK:- Yes, ive heard you boys throw a good bash. Something you’ve been doing for quite a while now!!. Going into season two, what are your expectations?
NIKEMIKERULES:- Yesterday was the first session in the new mustang and putting it up against the times of the other drivers its going to be a super hard championship so going to be going out strong trying to show my aim to keep the title for another season!
MAX KIDMARK:- That’s good to hear!! Who do you see as your main rivals for this up coming season?
NIKEMIKERULES:- Of course KRR where strong last season and Bradderstig has been keeping me on my toes for ages now so will have to be on my toes to keep them behind me.
MAX KIDMARK:- I’m sure they will be doubling their efforts to catch you this time!! And of course we had a few drivers who didn’t complete the whole season with the likes of weebilly and carcrazycal missing a few rounds.
​
MAX KIDMARK:- At the start of the season there were concerns through out the paddock that the racing wouldn’t be close, what where your thoughts then and have they changed now at all?
NIKEMIKERULES:- I was one of those drivers that was unsure on the pi drop and it did hurt me on some tracks more than others being the lowest pi all the time, but the racing was close and fun giving me the chance to trade paint with new guys who I wouldn’t normally be able to do.
​
MAX KIDMARK:- Its been noted in the sign ups that you and Robraceruk have decided to enter two teams under the RML banner. That couldn’t of been an easy decision considering the teams past success in other championships.
NIKEMIKERULES:- It was a hard thing to do, but the team is as strong as ever and we are looking for new drivers to join the team and see if we can give back to the sport and watch it grow with new young guns coming through. RML have always supported good drivers for example kenty and penfold getting stronger and stronger.
​
MAX KIDMARK:- Yes you have helped quite a few in past seasons. Your new team mate for Rob is someone who has been getting better and better season after season. How do you think he will do this season?
NIKEMIKERULES:- I think he is going to be very strong this year, last year he really came on strong towards the end and with Robs and my tuning and car building skills at RML it could serve him well, lets just hope all the sand doesn’t slow him down too much 😊
MAX KIDMARK:- Well he will certainly make RML a stronger force to be reckoned with! Any news on a team mate for yourself yet?
​
NIKEMIKERULES:- As far as team mates go there is no current news but we are always open to offers for drivers who wish to join the RML group.
​
MAX KIDMARK:- We’ve had a few demonstration races this season. Which has been your favourite and which one would you like to be seen turned into a full series?
NIKEMIKERULES:- I really enjoyed the WTCC classic races which saw a few new guys coming towards the top with cars that everyone loves no matter how old you are.
​
MAX KIDMARK:- Yes they certainly turned up some good racing. Finally what are your hopes for season two?
NIKEMIKERULES:- My Hopes for season two is the same as before, aim for the win, but mainly mainly to be scoring strong points the whole way and being there at the end of the season. Hopefully a bit of good luck too!
MAX KIDMARK:- Well im sure come the end of the season you will be up at the sharp end fighting for honours!!
Well thanks for your time Mike and all the best for season two!!
