I was working for Brett, like all through my Formula Ford time, I was working at Fastlane Racing on the Formula Fords.
So I started in 98 as a Formula Ford mechanic.
And it was only when Steve Richards left after the third round, which was at Lakeside, to go race for Nissan in the UK, that there was an opportunity.
And I just rang Gary and, have you heard of me?
And he's like, yeah, we'll give you a test.
Lounsey did it, but he did a little bit of Formula Holden.
So the young guys back then was Lounsey, myself and Jason Bright.
And I was a couple of years younger than Lounsey and Brighty.
So Lowndes won the Formula Ford Championship in 93.
I won it in 97, but they both did some Formula Holden stuff first.
So that's much bigger car, much more powerful.
