Sharing some driving tips with Sir Jackie Stewart

It was great to see Sir Jackie Stewart at Aintree Racecourse this year, he was there to start the Grand National. I took him out for a lap around the course and tried my best to share some driving tips. I don’t think he was impressed.

It’s hard to share driving tips with a formula one racing legend. He told me all about the “Race Against Dementia” charity he was there supporting, and how he used to race around Aintree in the 60’s, when it was a Grand Prix circuit.

I did my best., but I do drive a little slower, and my racing line is a bit different.

I even gave the cockpit a clean before I took him out, because it’s not every day you get to attempt to give driving tips to an OBE, and because it usually looks like this…

A couple of better shots of Tracker A at Aintree…. what a rig! One of the coolest jobs in TV.

This month was all tracking vehicles, I didn’t get time for much else…. If I wasn’t driving around the country, from Aintree, to Doncaster, to Newmarket, I was back at base working on them. A very busy time of year.

Did you know we also do cleaning?
