Somewhat OT, but good fun - Nico Rosberg has a go in a rally car:

I travelled the country following the hillclimb championship in 1987-90. Incredible cars, from road going hot hatches and Minis to cars like this Gould. Highly recommended.

The M.A.C was a big part of my life in the 90's before I left the Midlands in 99.

I broke the Shelsley record once. Only held it for 20 minutes or so, but it was nice while it lasted.

In what class, car? Overall? Very cool any which way.

I personally like the Lancia V4 sound

Me too!
Bit of a rarity these days.
Are you lucky enough to have one?

Someone mentioned Lancia, rally and world championships?

In the 2022 World Rallycross Championship a guy called Guerlain Chicherit turned up in an old but electrified Lancia Delta-Evo-e RX!!!!

The outright hill record, in the Gould GR55 I shared with Martin Groves who ended up holding the record until Sean broke it last year. Well over a decade.

That's me.

Happy days, but hard work. Not sure that's the fastest line, but it makes a good photo. It used to be quite bumpy after the 'kink', so vision into the Esses was always a bit hit and miss, for me anyway.

Increase in staff numbers since 1990, wind tunnel, bigger aero department… ego….

Well over an hour, but if historic F1 design interests you then worth watching.

The highlight for me of the documentary ’Stewart’

Well over an hour, but if historic F1 design interests you then worth watching.

I worked with Neil Trundle, Matthew Jeffries and Steve Nichols not long after the 88 car (Matthew and Neil in 1990, Steve in 1995 I think). All good guys who did very good jobs at McLaren.

Whilst I am retired (recovering from my health problems) at the moment there is a possibility of work some work with Matthew in the future which could be interesting.
