00:00Four times I've been on the podium, I've been close enough to see everyone else enjoying the win but
00:04haven't managed to do it myself. So for me throughout my career, I can't believe it's 19
00:09times I'm going to be there this year, so you'd think I'd have one win out of 19 goes.
00:14Couldn't think of a better way to do it this year than with a mate in the car with Jack. So it's
00:18like Richie touched on, it's a crazy event. There's always something that's going to go
00:22wrong throughout the day and it's just managing that mistake or that drama in the pit stop and
00:28trying to overcome it and keeping a clear head and making good decisions from there on. So it's
00:33a place that many years you've seen guys like Glenn Seaton, heroes of our sport that never
00:38managed to win, were quite close and brings grown men to tears. So hopefully we're having tears of
00:44joy at the end of it, but yeah it's definitely a race that I have to win before the end of the
00:50career.
