(June 6, 2010) — I arrived here at Le Mans late last night for my first time with the intent to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Riding through the town on parts of the track, I became very excited.
At scrutineering this morning in the town square, the presence of press and media along with the great swarms of fans and their spirit left me feeling almost as if I was dreaming. I am doing all I can to try and soak it all in – advice many have given me and I plan to make a discipline of.
This afternoon has been normal preparation by the team to the car and preliminarily going through seating variance issues with my co-drivers Rob Bell and Tim Sugden. I’m working to get my helmet functioning with the car radio system as well.
I have to say it feels just incredible to be here, to know I am on hallowed ground and such historic territory relevant to sports car racing teams and drivers around the world. I can’t wait to start driving!
