| Favourite circuit and why | Bathurst: Because no matter how many laps you do around there, you are never 100% comfortable when you are really pushing hard and drivers will be rewarded there by being a little brave. Even when you know the track very well, it is still challenging. It is also such a unique mixture of permanent circuit and public roads. |
|---|
| Favourite Race and why | Le Mans 24 Hours. Awesome track which you never really stop learning and like Bathurst has a great mixture of permanent and temporary circuits. The atmosphere at that race is amazing and to push 100% for a whole 24 hours (in our case there was basically only 2 drivers) is such a challenge on so many different fronts. At the time you just want it to be over but the next day you would like nothing more than to start all over and do it again. |

|---|
| Best/Worst part of the job | Obviously to be paid for doing what is basically my hobby and something I am passionate about is a privilege nobody should take for granted. The worst part is the lack of job security and the affect politics can have on our SPORT. |
