“I’m lucky enough to have done Formula 5000. The only time I was ever really alive was driving a racing car and that was the racing car to drive.

“I only did bits and pieces and didn’t have a regular drive in 5000 after doing Formula Ford and Formula 3, but it was fantastic.

“I hadn’t got a decent drive and I just walked away from the sport in 1977. I’m now 73 and I don’t tend to go to racing very much.”
