Exclusive : GoCar spoke to David Ward

GoCar had the pleasure chatting to the new candidate for the FIA Presidency, Mr David Ward. As it was announced today, he stepped down from his position of the Secretary General of the FIA Foundation, after 12 years, in order to stand as a candidate for the 2013 FIA Presidential Election.

 

“After much careful thought I have decided to stand as a candidate in the 2013 FIA Presidential election”, Ward points out, “Election processes inevitably involve robust and lively debate, and whilst the Foundation is independent and there is no legal requirement for me to resign, I believe that it is in the best interests of the charity that I stand down now”

 

David Ward, who is still on vacations on the Island of Crete, had to say only good words : “It has been the perfect place to contemplate my future. I'm always inspired by the beauty of the island, it's history and it's people. I've spent most of the summer wearing a T shirt with the famous quote of Nikos Katzanzakis...I expect nothing, I fear nothing, I am free! A good state of mind to be in I think!”
