My interest in touring cars goes back to the \u201960s when I watched the likes of Jim Clark in a Lotus Cortina. That was a fantastic spectacle you will never get again\u2026that is, Schumacher in a touring car race on the same weekend as a Grand Prix, which is what Clark used to do. Those things don\u2019t happen any longer.<\/p>\n

My association with touring cars was part of growing up and then I found that I\u2019m involved in it, and it has taken me around the world. I have raced in different countries in different championships, on the edges of the German Touring Car series, the Australian series\u2026the V-8 series, quite a lot of touring car series. I think the British series, in the mid-90s, used to be the one in which everyone aspired to be involved. Even the Australians who have the strongest series in the world outside of America, where there are 40 odd cars and any of 20 drivers who could win\u2026they wanted to come and join in the BTCC.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
