Wow, well-done RD, this is amazing news, VBH is a great presenter and even better driver. I was lucky enough to meet her a few years ago at Anglesey for an event, she was of course, quick on track but as ever gracious with it!

I also totally understand her relief at a few moments of peace in the car away from the kids during lockdown!
 
Met Vicki at RAF Cottesmore when she tried to beat 200mph an A1GP car.
She actually wanted to race a Harrier but the idea was pulled last minute.

Best part was she did Donuts right next to our Weatherproof red carpet for VIP flights and they were still there years later.

I was just out of shot at to the left every time she pulled into park up.

 
Watched her for years on TV, always seemed like a down to earth and genuine person.
I believe I saw her one morning, years ago now, dropping one of her kids off at St. Thomas's School over the road from my house in Battersea. If it wasn't her then this person was the spitting image of her... lol ;)

Nice get, RD!

Two comments on the video:

1) I love how they push start the A1GP car like it's an oversized kart :D

2) When she is talking about needing another gear and there only being 1 spare in the country "100 miles away", the Brits are thinking "too far, they'll never get it!" while us Yanks are thinking "oh good, nice and close!"
