A good friend of mine used to be a pro racing driver. He used to drive the Camel Huron in the early 70s (drove in that famous BOAC 1000kms at Brands, remembers Rodriguez lapping him while going sideways in Porsche 917) and then later on F5000. Guess what he does for a living now? He's a poet!
I tried to get him to write something about his racing but he couldn't marry the two. More inspiration for '24' - to capture that feeling of motion, speed etc.
Good to hear this stuff - hey, people really do want to read racing novels!
