    Really hope you all enjoy this. A massive thank you to all those involved in bringing it together - particularly Lanzante and Ray. As an aside, I couldn’t quite believe it when Ray said that his original F1 was chassis 46 - the same car that we had together with the T.50 earlier this year.

I never felt it was his day out, but it was him taking us on an amazing journey that none of us will ever experience. Truly amazing performance by Mr Catchpole. So many other so called car journalists or you tube presenters could learn so much from him.

    Henry has now driven 3 F1's. I'm convinced he's on a mission to drive more F1 than anyone. Also, I don't think life gets any better than driving an F1 GTR at Dunsfold; my god that is just epic. Lastly, Ray must be kicking himself that he owned 2 of these cars. He must feel like the guy who threw away a hard drive full of bitcoin.

    I saw Ray Bellm race that 95 car at Andersdorp in Sweden along with Lindsay Owen-Jones in the sister car. The race was won by the Ferrari F40, I think Ferrari's only victroy that season. My father had some Gulf branded petrol stations and we were guests of the team. What a cracking weekend. Last thing before we left the circuit after the race was watching Ray use the main straight to take off in his private jet back to England. Class.

    It's obvious that you put a lot of time, effort and production into these videos but although it's a true testament to Henry's abilities to talk and drive at the same time his voice just doesn't carry well enough. Let us hear more of the car and then bring Harry in for the voiceovers which come in quite clearly. Yes, I'm just a lowly keyboard warrior that doesn't understand how exciting it is to those who are used to the accent so they can just relax and not have to wonder what he's saying. The cars were wonderful and the videography excellent.
