The years I raced in were fantastic. There was so much change in the cars. We went from treaded tyres to no wings right through to slicks to enormous wings.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I raced locally for a year, went to Europe the year after and went to the Olympics the year after that.
I raced supremely well. I felt I was as well fitted to do it as I had ever been, and as perhaps I might ever be. I went climbing three weeks before, because I was feeling fed up with running.
I raced in London in the 2012 Olympics, and it was incredible to be a part of, with half a million people watching and then later seeing kids going back to cycle.
I've decided to retire from top class racing. It has been an incredible experience and has provided with me some unforgettable moments.
Going to car racing school was phenomenal.
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 don't remember my first race, but I do recall various school sports days where I became way too competitive. We were seven or eight years old, and I had a very stern conversation with my relay team-mates about how crucial it was for us to win.
I drove long distances like the 24 hours of Le Mans for years. But even this racing is now over. I retired.
It was a pretty wild ride. The race wasn't bad, but qualifying would take your breath.
I'm a competitor. I really enjoyed the race more than just going out and running to run.
