My First Driving Lesson

30 Dec , 2014   Video

This was my first time driving a car on a track. Not bad for a first attempt by a 15 year-old teenager! I’d had some time to get familiar with the basic controls inside the car in a car-park area on another day. This was the first time after that. Really enjoyed it!

At the 2014 London Cup the TV company asked if I would present a track-guide of Rye House. I asked Josh Hatton, former London Cup winner, to join me. The main footage is from the TV coverage and I’ve added a complete flying lap with commentary at the end. Rye House Kart Circuit is famous for […]
