Unfortunately proving once again that the hard part is not surviving a professional racing career, but the private plane/helicopter trips that go along with it. :(

watching leslie and Co. in the BTCC's heyday was some of the greatest racing I've ever seen, it was really cool when he came over to run a year (or two) in world challenge :(

I'll never forget Leslie saying "Bintchcliffe's done it again, and the car's ****ed!"

mid 1990s BTCC was something special.
