MSVT Testimonials

MSVT has been fantastic to me," he said. "I was fortunate enough to be at Brands Hatch last year doing a TV programme with John Surtees [BBC Two's Racing Legends], so I got a feel for the place. I panicked a little bit with the theory test as I'm terrible with exams, but I passed 100% which was good, and the practical was great fun. I've been with Jonny Adam [Beechdean Aston Martin GT driver] practising for a couple of days over the last month or two and it's been such a great experience. It's not something I've thought of doing, but when I was approached to get involved and then to be given the chance to take my race licence and pass, I was over the moon. I feel like a 17-year-old passing my driving test again!" "I think your nerves can kick in when you first start, and then you just get a feel for it. It's practice at the end of the day, it's like baking. When I first started my first loaves were OK but they weren't brilliant, but the more you practice it you get a great crust, the taste is good, the structure's there and you get a loaf that looks almost professional. And it's the same with race driving, it's just practice. Being with good teachers helps a lot, and being with MSVT has been fantastic. If you get a great instructor, which I had, you naturally just get better and better.
