John probably won’t thank me for this quote, but it was quite a good remark!
It would have been the mid to late 80’s at Brands Hatch. John was in a very quick F1 and I was in a not nearly so quick much older F2.
John is an extremely able driver and as I was coming to the end of the pit straight I saw him coming onto it. I had no one else behind me and concluded that at least I would be round Druids before he would pass me. I braked for Druids, turned the wheel and at the same moment John went through on the inside. Yup, I had company in my trousers for the remainder of the race (a Frank Gardner line).
I saw John afterwards and said how impressed I was at his speed (left out the not seeing him bit). Have you not driven an F1? He asked as though it was a very natural thing for everyone to do. ‘No’ I replied. ‘Oh you must’, he said, ‘its better than the best sex you have ever had’.
Still a virgin.
