[manta400]

Hi, im new to joining this forum but have enjoyed reading you r posts so decided to join!!! just wondering about Patrick, after Japan 2008 did all his medical bills get paid by ford? Also how is he doing? what is he going to do now, back to co-driving? Also was curious if say Duval employed Pivato as a co driver does he get paid by duval? whats the going rate for a top level codriver? eg mills?

He underwent many difficult surgeries due to massive internal injuries. Many, including me, didn't realize the severity of the injuries instantly. But after seeing that one interview with Malcolm... Huh.

He was spectating in Australia and what I know he is rather fine at the moment. I don't think he has returned to the right seat. Although I've seen a photo of him and Duval in S2000 Fabia from Ypres with "Gordon" overalls but it was Giraudet who was codriving Duval in there.

In this forum (http://www.pivato.fr/phpBB3/) there were status updates during the first months, now it's been more quiet.

Patrick did one shakedown run with Duval in Ypres I think.
