At the Canary Wharf Motor Expo in 2011 I had the opportunity to take part in the RaceRoom competition that was taking place there where you could win the opportunity to drive a single seater Lotus F1 car if you posted the fastest lap time around Brands Hatch GP circuit. The charity behind the competition was sponsored by Nigel Mansell and he had a chance to post a lap time on one of the first days of the competition.
The video of Nigel's heroic effort can be found here and is well worth a watch as it is very impressive. You can see how an ex-F1 World Champion very quickly gets to grips, albeit not completely, with an alien form of racing to him and also how his competitive streak comes out despite just playing a 'game'.
I managed to post the 5th fastest time in the competition at the end of the week at a 1:05ish (as compared to Nigel's 1:09ish!) It was great fun but I am still irked I didn't win it! : (
