It was Our Nige driving for Ford in 1998 that made my family go to our first ever racing event, at Silverstone for the season finale. We got to see a young lad called Jenson Button win the Formula Ford title...

After that, we went to Oulton Park regularly for years. Once you see, hear and smell the cars up close, nothing beats it.

I remember watching the Donington round live on BBC. I was only 9 years old and a motorsport geek back then, but all my friends at primary school who weren’t even into motorsport were talking about that race.

That Mondeo looked so cool.
