He drove his own BRM P261

-

“I drove it last at the Goodwood Revival last year. I’ve owned it with a partner since about 1996 and David Owen from BRM endorsed everything about the car, which helps enormously. There was a bit of sponsorshi­p as well, which helped us at the time. I’ve got a new partner in the car now, but he’s like a sleeping partner. So, it was very nice to drive that car at Shelsley. It’s a lovely car anyway, but it likes to stretch its legs. It’s not an ideal car for a hillclimb and you’ve got to keep the revs up. My first run was a bit better than the second run off the line.”
