But I just think about if I make a mistake and I hit that tree, the tree is not moving. (...) That for me is like my limit, that’s something I don’t want to do. It’s too high of a risk":

Jo Bamford? Grandson of Joseph Cyril Bamford who started JCB diggers. Heir to the multi-billion pound fortune, friend of Tories and BoJo, owns a bus manufacturer and is in the hydrogen space. Found one possible rally entry on ewrc but as he also races I think it is him. So that's slightly interesting.
