Good luck!

Take a look at this Ford Festiva in ‘Demon’ trim and try to tell me car companies don’t have a sense of humor.

I’m actually hoping to accost him at an Easter historic racing event!

Great story. He always seems to be super nice!

I met him at a track day at Thruxton a couple of years ago. He was the same dude, super nice and enthusiastic. I was to be driving a formula Renault single-seater and he was doing super-drifty hotlaps for passengers in a BMW. On the track, I held him up at a chicane, so let him pass me on the straight. As we went into

Do you listen to any music before you start the race?

What was the most scary part of the race for you?

The C7R is the machine for me. It’s a beast! Love driving it on the limit.

It’s fast

I had to do both, I suppose that’s what we are paid to do.

Yes

I think the series has made a good step forward in the way they look at BoP. We’ll have to see how the season pans out and what adjustments are made.

I try to not get too wrapped up in the pressure and intensity during the build up of the race. I try to use my experience to keep things in perspective. It’s also good to get in the car some minutes before the start to just have some quiet time before it goes crazy.

Ilive in Tampa and was glued to the TV/ computer for almost all of the race! Iwas absolutely freaking like a little girl when you guys had the last few laps to duke it out. nothing proves a driver (and his teams) skill and the limits of a car like endurance racing!!!!

What did you think of the Ford GT before the race, and now after having seen it’s pace?

What’s more difficult. Trying to win the race or trying not to ruin the race for both Corvettes?

If given the choice, would you daily drive your C7R for a week?

Ollie, how do you feel about the new methodology on the BoP for Daytona, and since you guys were so fast do you expect an adjustment for Sebring?

How do you prepare for a race mentally? Meditate, seek solitude, follow some ritualistic routine; just curious. Thanks and continued success.

What are some of your favorite driving and racing games?
