Hello everyone from the Buzz! World Championships Grand Final!
We’ve come to the world-famous La Tomatina festival in Bunyol, Spain to find out which one of our 14 National Champions is going to win a fantastic MINI Clubman!
It’s been 5 months since we started the hunt for our first Buzz! World Champion, and have found our best 14 National players from over 8,000 contestants.
Our stage is ready to roll and later tonight, we’ll know our one final winner!
Our World Champion isn’t just going to be the proud owner of a new MINI. They’re also going to have the once-in-a-lifetime experience of starting the world’s biggest tomato fight at La Tomatina, tomorrow. If you haven’t heard of La Tomatina, it’s a massive throng of over 40,000 people (who’ll fill the empty street below!) throwing over 10 tonnes of tomatoes in a one-hour frenzy!
Best of luck to all our finalists for tonight!
Here’s our line-up of National Champions:
- Belgium – Jean-Marc Koder
- Denmark – Zejn Ljuti
- France – Romain Mabil
- Germany – Cornelia Schmid
- Netherlands – Marcel Kuil
- Portugal – Nadine Malhado
- Poland – Andrzej Holus
- Spain – Juan Maria Hernandez
- Sweden – Paul Svensson
- Switzerland – Armin Diethelm
- UK – Ian Stewart Clark
- Austria – Rudolf Havlicek
- Norway – Rune Sageflaat
- Finland – Mikko Heinonen
Check back on Thursday for news of who won and pictures from the amazing Tomatina!

World Championhsip, yet no-one from outside Europe. That’s like when they all the winner of the Superbowl being the best American Football team in the world… bad example but you get the point.

Ooops. I meant to say “That’s like when they call the winner of the Superbowl the best American Football Team in the World”. Damn the lack of an edit post feature. Anyway good luck to all the contestants, especially Ian Stewart Clark. Come on UK!
