    Really hope you all enjoy this. A massive thank you to all those involved in bringing it together - particularly Lanzante and Ray. As an aside, I couldn’t quite believe it when Ray said that his original F1 was chassis 46 - the same car that we had together with the T.50 earlier this year.

    Henry Catchpole most definitely up there at the top for presenting car related stuff.
    The F1 engine makes such an incredible sound, something I'll always remember when watching one take part at Silverstone in the GT series...best sounding car there.
    The P1 for me will always be very special, the shape, the rear wing (on the road car) and that very unique(?) engine sound, just very special. An era of cars never to exist again, just like the Mercedes C8, C9 and C11 race cars. Thanks guys.

    Henry has now driven 3 F1's. I'm convinced he's on a mission to drive more F1 than anyone. Also, I don't think life gets any better than driving an F1 GTR at Dunsfold; my god that is just epic. Lastly, Ray must be kicking himself that he owned 2 of these cars. He must feel like the guy who threw away a hard drive full of bitcoin.

My father had some Gulf branded petrol stations and we were guests of the team. What a cracking weekend. Last thing before we left the circuit after the race was watching Ray use the main straight to take off in his private jet back to England. Class.
