Vowles on driving Williams FW14B

Away from the track, James Vowles is a pretty handy racer himself - having driven for the Garage 59 squad in Asian Le Mans in a McLaren GT3 car.

The Williams team boss got a chance to drive Nigel Mansell's title-winning FW14B in preparation for Goodwood - an experience he won't soon forget.

"It's exceptional," he mused in the press conference earlier. "Genuinely, after we stopped, they left me in the car - I stayed in there for 10 minutes, just enjoying the moment. It was getting it basically ready, making sure we're OK before we take it to Goodwood, and it's an opportunity of a lifetime. I can't really describe it any other way.

"It's something I saw on TV 30 years ago that never, I would have dreamt to be even close to it, yet alone have the ability to drive it. It's a very light car. It's exactly Nigel's car as he won the championship in Budapest in '92 and it's an exceptional moment for me to just have the ability to be a part of it."
