    Hello Guys,

    I am not sure if this is the correct area for this post but I guess the admin can move it if need be.

    I was lucky enough to be invited to drive my Lotus 2-Eleven at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last year and Patrick Dempsey rode shotgun. I got to spend over an hour with him and he is a great guy and a real racer.

    We were behind the P4/5 and that is the Ferrari content. I know there are mixed feelings on that car but I like it and Jim is a very nice guy.

    We have a $5,000,000 one of a kind Ferrari in front and a former F1 world Champion driving an Aston behind us.

    Here is the video.

    To hell with McDreamy, the P4/5 and some has-been F1 world champion--What I want to know is:

    How did you like the 2-Eleven?

    I have driven one and it is just awesome. I am "-----this----" close to selling a Ferrari and buying one. If only I could figure a way of slapping a plate on it and running it on the street. That would be heaven!!!

    I love the 2-Eleven, I did about 1,700 miles on the road in the UK and I raced it in China.

    This is a race in the rain in China, the rain was insane on that day and only on half of the circuit.

    There are a load more of my Goodwood and China race videos here.

    Thanks for the kind words guys.

    Having breakfast in the drivers lounge with Lewis Hamilton at the table next to me and seeing Sterling Moss come up and shake his hand was amazing. It was a living racing hall of fame in the drivers lounge....incredible!

    If you liked that video have a look at these.

    Hello Jim,

    I just figured out that is you! At least I think that is you. If you want any of the raw footage of your car to use just let me know, I have much more than is in this video.

    I am Rachel's friend that got her to try and call you during Goodwood about the lights on your car.

    Cheers,

    Patrick

    No, it was not the F1 Champ AKA Damon Hill.

    Here is the whole video of the crash.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfvYP3WEULA

    The driver does not look very happy and the great British crowd gives him the compulsory slow handclap...bad times.
