My car control is key, something I honed in the Japanese sport of drifting, aka the art of balancing a car on the edge of grip with smoke pouring from its rear tyres.

That’s invaluable in bringing back spectacular imagery from photo and video shoots, where I’m as happy sliding a mid-engined supercar as I am a two-tonne estate (claim to fame: I doubled for Clarkson on a Sunday Times video shoot). People call it precision driving these days.

I’ve driven F1, WRC and GT3 machinery too. But sometimes it’s about being highly precise at saner speeds, positioning the car exactly where the photographer needs without them having to ask. Sounds easy, but it’s amazing how time slips away when inexperienced drivers get involved.

It’s also about keeping calm during a hectic schedule, ensuring photographers are safe when I’m driving the tracking car and their knuckles are nearly scraping the Tarmac.
