Yes, I like watching Formula 1 and other extreme sports but never ever thought I would want to take part or watch the action beyond the television screen. It is just over a week since returning from the VLN championships with team Peugeot and Nokia and I am still on a ‘high’, just writing this and thinking about it, is getting me ever more excited as I recall the events.
