“It was really really enjoyable although I had a little issue where every time I got tapped or hit someone, it would jump out of gear which was making my life tough, but that is the way it goes sometimes.

“I would definitely do it again, but I certainly wouldn’t muck about with all the nutters who are the regular drivers. I wouldn’t want to have a target on my back. In our race, I was thinking about being able to follow people in and I thought I have given two or three of them in front of me a proper tidy hit, but it didn’t really move them out of the way at all. I think now I understand how hard I have to hit them to make a pass.

“Oval racing is my background and I have always had massive respect for these guys but I appreciate the F1 boys a little bit more now. It was kind of them to let us have a go.”
