Grown up on the Wirral (across the Mersey from Liverpool), UK. Age: 19. Now studying Popular Music Studies at Liverpool John Moores University. Welsh on my dad's side and Chinese on my mother's side. Always had a love of speed.. My first memory of cars is sitting on a booster seat, in the passenger seat of my dad's old Rover Vitesse, doing over 100mph down a tree-lined 1km straight road a few kms from our place. Used to be a sprinter, but only ever as an amateur. Didn't even have starting blocks! Got to 24.0 in the 200m, aged 15 in a county competition. Not too bad for 5'9 and 59kgs! Have been hit n' miss with some sports.. But driving feels quite natural to a degree and it's such a great feeling when four wheel drifting my car (Perhaps that's helped by having watched F1 passionately since mid 1996). Though a 1.2lt Fiat Punto Grande hardly gets above 110mph, it handles like a charm right up to 85~. I have passed an Enzo though..
(Which I'll always boast just for a little joke. Doing 80mph on a fast road I knew very well (the 'Masta' approximate section of Spa II, see below).. it was probably still in 2nd gear! Driver was just enjoying the ride though, as anyone would in such a fab car
. No problem for me to safely pass by at 85.)
My only wish is that I could have started driving in some form of motorsports properly as a youngster
Seeing pro drivers properly in action.. Truly amazing stuff!
