2010 season:

"Last year was a superb season; a real experience and it went fantastically well and I didn't really expect to achieve what I did. All credit to the guys in the team; I couldn't have done it without the help of Patrick and Michael and the guys who gave me a perfect car every weekend. I've had every advantage.

"Michael Caine was my benchmark and he gave me every help; he never held anything back and was always honest and straightforward. He's the perfect tutor, especially for these cars. The Porsche needs a level of discipline that I would never have imagined.

"It was good to finally get the first pro-am1 win at Rockingham; I really enjoyed that. This year I definitely want to win pro-am1 and I'd like to be on the overall podium by the end of the year. I'd like to emulate what Glyn Geddie did last year. I'd like to keep the consistency and just get that last bit of speed. I want to build on what we did last year. There is superb attention to detail at Motorbase and I've got as good a chance as any one."
