Host, Sue Stockdale talks to Grant Gibson about his reflections of being a newcomer to the Sports 2000 Grid. Grant explains how he prepares for racing his Duratec in a similar way to how he worked in F1.

Originally from near Melbourne, in Australia, Grant started racing at the age of 20, firstly driving a Lotus 23b that his father and brothers had modified by putting a 3.5 litre v8 engine in place of the small Lotus-Ford Twin Cam. He moved to UK in the early 1980s with a plan to learn from F1 and improve his own racing when he returned to Australia. Grant spent almost ten years in F1 working for Benetton, and then Williams as a mechanic for drivers including Nigel Mansell, Nelson Piquet and Keke Rosberg.

The Sports2000 Championship has been established since 1977 and features four championships - Duratecs, Pintos, Historic Pintos and Mini Enduro.
