it was very difficult it was very daunting but uh i kind of didn't know any any different so um i just got stuck into it i knew i had a massive passion for these uh these race cars my first race uh ever was the 1981 long beach grand prix which is kind of in between these two cars here the mo 74 our first world championship and santa's 91 uh uh championship car so uh

I've loved race cars ever since I was a little boy.
