CHARLES CAUDRELIER (FRA)|
| | Nomination |
The performance of the
Chinese Volvo entry
Dongfeng in harrying
Leg 1 winner Abu Dhabi
Racing all the way into Cape Town
was impressive on any number of
levels. However what we are tipping
our hats to is the brilliantly positive
way in which Caudrelier took on the
task of moulding a multinational team
of patchy experience, shaping them
into such a formidable squad. And are
the best times yet to come?

| Why they won |
| ‘A magnificent start…’ – Bruno Dubois; ‘Great job’ – Sam
Goodchild; ‘See you in Abu Dhabi!’ – Iker Martínez; ‘Skipper and
mentor… one in the eye for the naysayers’ – Alistair Skinner;
‘Tough choice for a Frenchman!’ – Christian Granger; ‘For sure
Loïck Peyron is an alien… but Charles’s task is so demanding that
nobody really expected to see Dongfeng with the leaders so early
in the race’ – François Seguin; ‘Fantastic guy… grounded and a
living example of the new-generation VOR racer’ – Eero Lehtinen. |
