I grew up in a culture of motorbikes. So I like racing just fine. Quite a lot, actually. That was when I was a boy in Australia. And I never really made the jump to cars after that.

I've always wanted to race cars, ever since I was a young boy, as I think a lot of guys have.

My last real race was at the Olympics in Sydney in 2000.

I've always had a fascination with cars and racing, not that I've ever competed.

I've been racing for my whole life, and I know what I need to do to be able to win.

I don't really know how many films I've done, and I don't look at this as a race that I necessarily want to win. Nor is it a race that I want to stop running.

I want to be up front racing.

I'm disappointed that I really haven't been able to race in a way that is reflective of the amount of work that I have done and how I have trained. But I don't regret giving this a go.

I've never been to a race car race before.
