Opposition leader Joseph Muscat this afternoon met the Mr Whippy Drag Racing team, which won the European FIA Drag Racing championships.

Mr Whippy owner Joe Carabott told Dr Muscat that team work and hard work and experience led to their victory. The members said they found it tough to take part in international championships because of a lack of funds as the sports was an expensive one.

Dr Muscat congratulated the team and said the sports should be given space and the difficulties met by those who practiced it should be considered.
