So in your opinion, what's the reason why he seemingly struggled then? He may have won the title FOURTEEN years ago with Yokomo, but I believe he was their #1 driver then with not much competition within that brand. Now, he is arguably 1 of 3 top Yokomo TC drivers (Naoto, Volker and Hara) or possibly more. When he was at HB, he was #1 with Andy Moore (no disrespect), a distant second.

So yeah, I think and in my opinion only he's struggling since he no longer has the sponsor's "focus" on him being #1. He's just one of many other fish in the Yokomo pond.
