Priaulx-like Muller Andy's big threat

A LEADING World Touring Car Championship writer says that the odds are against Andy Priaulx retaining his title for an unprecedented four years running.

This weekend the 2008 FIA WTCC season kicks off in Curitiba.

One man who will be there in Brazil and at every round of the championship is Guernsey-raised Edd Straw, the news editor and the WTCC expert for leading monthly motor-racing magazine Autosport. 'It's going to be a real uphill battle for Andy this year,' he said.
