00:14Open motor racing is probably the fastest
00:15type motor racing, you know, rear wheel drive
00:18engine in the rear, take a little bit of holding on to
00:22They are fast
00:23light and you get a lot of down force
00:26of it
00:27With these cars, with the wings, the down force level is so high
00:30you get up behind another car
00:31the air from that car goes underneath
00:34your car and lifts up the front which is why
00:36sometimes you just can't get as close
00:39We all treat each other with huge respect and therefore we have
00:42great racing throughout
00:45Absolutely on the edge
00:46it's all about the driver
00:48it's all about looking after the car
00:50and balancing it through the turn
00:52Having the confidence
00:53to just carry the speed through the corner
00:55trusting that the car is going to grip
00:58You've got to be confident
00:59You've got to go into a corner feeling that you can't do it
01:02If you're not confident before you go out
01:03then you're not going to perform as well
01:05You need to drive so precise
01:07and everything needs to be perfect
01:09to be fast, the limit is very small
01:13The single seaters
01:14you've got a lot of different variables
01:16that can go wrong
01:18You must not have any contact
01:20with another driver
01:22not like in touring cars or so
01:25If you bang with an open car
01:26you're going to have a massive shock
01:30Almost 200 miles an hour
01:31side by side, best feeling in the world
01:34you can have
01:35it's like being on a roller coaster
01:37but you're driving yourself
01:42I remember an interview
01:44James Hunt once did
01:46when somebody asked him
01:47why are you so faster than everybody else
01:49and he said big ****
01:51you
