I am very fortunate to have started my racing career when all that matters was racing. Did not have seatbelts. One day a fellow competitor turned up in racing overalls (just the top) and thought he was a bit of a poser.
2 weeks ago I logged in to watch the GP. I found out I had logged into the Formula E championship I listened to the bizarre regulations. The main one being in the second half of the race depending on your popularity with the crowd, they would text in and give you a power boost. Nuvolari would not have approved.
It really does make me embarrassed to be part of this industry at times. Having said that a couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of driving a £60.000 rebuilt 265hp Mallock which Charlie has now delivered to France. Needless to say it created a great deal of interest from fellow competitors. I loved it even though I could not match Barry or Peter's times.
