Having competed themselves, my father and my uncle are very passionate about motorsport, so I inherited it from them.
I love speed. I love racing cars, whether it's on the streets or wherever. Don't tell the St. Louis police, though.
I've always wanted to race cars, ever since I was a young boy, as I think a lot of guys have.
James Finch is exactly what I'm looking for, as far as getting back into the race car to have fun.
When I think of 'Mad Dog Time,' I think of the fact that I got to drive fast cars all day long up in Canada. That was really fun. We were on these back roads with these great cars.
Every time I jump in the car I feel very happy. Racing is what I love to do and I am very lucky I can do it.
At the end of the day, I got involved in all this because I enjoy driving cars and driving them as fast as possible. If I was going to be remembered for anything, I would like it to be for that.
As an individual, not as the boss of a company, I am very interested in motor racing.
But to personally satisfy my own adrenalin needs, I've been racing cars a little bit, which has been fun.
If I test the car for a year I can be quite competitive the next season.
I've done drag races. I've done Long Beach Grand Prix stuff. I've done NASCAR stuff. Just about anything carwise under the sun, I've done. Whether it be driving schools or racing schools, I've had a passion for it for a long time.
Some people are drawn to a van Gogh or a Rembrandt. Some are attracted to exotic guns. Coins. Stamps. I am attracted to cars.
But my passion is racing cars. It's what I like to do in my off time.
I grew up in a culture of motorbikes. So I like racing just fine. Quite a lot, actually. That was when I was a boy in Australia. And I never really made the jump to cars after that.
I just feel rejuvenated in such a big way because of these race cars I get to drive.
When you go to club racing in Denmark, people spend money to buy a race car and go and race, and many don't actually really have the money, but they spend it anyway because they love it and that's why I like those kind of things.
The Red Bull Ring is a ready-made facility, it can be ready in a very short period of time to fit the FIA's criteria.
All in all it was a smooth race, the car was very well balanced. I'm very proud to be the first winner here in India.
I had no idea at two or three years of age that my dad was a rally driver and he was doing doughnuts around the world.
My son is racing his first 24-hour this year with Porsche.
I am part of a circuit called 24 Hours of LeMons, where it's a sort of riff on 24 Hours of Le Mans. It's a poor man's weekend warrior racer event.
As a driver, your target is always to be with the most competitive team possible.
I drove long distances like the 24 hours of Le Mans for years. But even this racing is now over. I retired.
I'm an off-road racecar driver. And I think every woman in my life has told me that's not a sensible hobby. But when I was growing, even more than I wanted to be funny, I wanted to be a racecar driver. That's all I thought about. I worked for a race team when I was 15 and I traveled with them.
Any finish at Le Mans is great but every time I go to Le Mans my mission is to win.
