"I am always a bit cynical about things like this, as they tend to be written with an ‘angle’ depending on who writes them. I intended to give the guide a quick look over, but ended up reading it from cover to cover. The analysis, backed up with the comments from people in the paddock, make it incredibly engaging. I really enjoyed it and I’m a jaded PR person!" -- Ian Wheeler, Marketing & Communications Manager at Team Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS
