“It all went so fast, so I didn’t immediately realize what had happened. Even though I know that I am not a big car connoisseur”, Leyers looks back on her last final game. Opponent Kim Van Oncen is still stammering “that it is not allowed at all”. “What a moment”, Erik Van Looy adds. “Ahja, I’ll be back”Leyers seems to realize only then.
“I was so in the moment that I honestly forgot that for a while. But 18 participations in a row, that’s more than enough. I rest in that, because it had to stop one day. Not from the first time: that was the goal. And for 1 million viewers you don’t want to go off of course. I felt stressed by that in the beginning, but I was able to relax better and better “, says Leyers.
“In the run-up to the 11th episode – my sister Olga’s record – that stress was increased again. Doing it as well as she did: that seemed like fun. After that, everything was fine, except for the final game itself, which is still nerve-racking. But it even got a bit weird, because it just kept going on for me. (laughs) “
