What was that?

Well, first of all, when Frederick rang me, I was just like, oh, wow, how cool is this? I've been invited to Race of Champions.

And I was like, mate, 100% I'm in, and he hadn't even told me any details yet.

And then he's like, yeah, it's 8th and 9th of January.

We'll see you there, mate.

We'll be in New Zealand.

And I'm like, okay, cool, cool.

A lot of things go, have you enjoyed that? What has that whole thing been like for you so far this year?

Who are some of those people that you look up to and take some great advice off?

Yeah, for me, meeting Johan Christoffersen was a pretty cool moment.

You know, one of the best rally drivers around the world.

And then obviously got to meet Sebastian Loeb.

You know, got towed up by him in the final year and a bit ago.

But if there's someone you're going to get towed up by in a rally car, I'm pretty glad it's him.

So, no, like those guys are awesome.

worth of,

Can you encapsulate what it actually is, what it means?

Yeah, so basically the race of champions will be inside Henry Stadium where they'll put a temporary course in.

I believe it will be asphalt.

I actually don't know the complete ins and outs of it.

But in a nutshell, it's basically the best race car drivers from so many different disciplines around the world.

So, you know, you get guys like four-time world champion, Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel here.

You get Honourable Aussie Valtteri Bottas, which has won multiple races.

What do they look at? What's your platform?

when you shuffled him at Forest Elbow, was that like, were you like, I'm just going to move you, but then if I get a penalty or whatever, at least I still won the race? Or what was the...

i mean it clearly like you know when you're not in that moment for me i'm not processing crazy anything it was like the move um so the last lap he was clearly in a lot of stage so he blocked the at two blocked the which wasn't really a block he like he was still far up front at the at the cutting he blocked really hard there so i'm like i'm jinxing that um rolled off a lot across the top of the hill so i'm like i'm half shell on the nose there which i wasn't going but i was showing at skyline um and then i just kind of committed after the um dipper i was like well i'm just going to set up for a move at the elbow i'm just going to go in as hard as i can and i just remember just not having the grip and i was like Oh, I've committed back at the kink.

And I just remember trying to like, oh, he's squeezing me.

And it was just like had that small bit of overlap or that corner and I just tapped it.

Like it wasn't like I'm just going to shuffle you.

It was like planned to, but I was committed like 75 metres back there.

And somehow I just ended up doing it.

But come back, obviously, when did the crash happen? Was that in practice? No,
