Charlie Cox

What first comes to mind when we think about Thruxton in 2000? Well,

as is often in this era, the most memorable thing is probably something that Charlie Cox or John Watson said.

And for me, it was John Watson.

And they're like a couple of truck drivers going up the M1, which was always, always stuck with me.

There's something about the way that he's handling that car.

It just has supreme levels of confidence.

And in the pre-race coverage on Grandstand, Charlie Cox takes Ivan for a walk around the circuit and Ivan actually talks about how he could go flat through church if he wanted to, but... had found it didn't actually make enough of a difference to justify the risk of doing so.

So that was the level of confidence we were talking at.
