Boys boys... Let's not squabble over the TTOD or championship player. MY student, 2004 winner of the US Open, Svetlana Kutznetsova not only drove more laps during the scheduled runs, but was so impressed (not sure if it was with the Cayenne, the coaching or the autocross...) that she introduced me to her coach and then her manager. After leaving with the other players to attend the press conference, she returned in 30 minutes (feigning a headache) and proceeded to drive for another hour or so. Her coach rode along and eventually drove a few laps himself. Finally she offered to take pictures with and autographed hats for the remaining instructors and was "grateful for the opportunity to race". It was just as much a thrill for me. As for the calendar, I was surprised to note they replaced the medallian with a CD screen saver. Nice and I love the music.
