It'll be interesting to see how he performs going from 2--4 wheels in comparison to Schui's 4--2 wheel escapades

He's done rallying before and also driven the Ferrari F1 car?

apparently he's quite a talent in a rally car, as well as being fairly handy on a motorbike (or so I'm told).

He won the Monza rally last year I think, and beat Colin McRae the other year too. He just missed out on a top ten finish in the New Zealand Rally a couple of years a go too.

I put a tenner on him to win a stage in the GB rally about 4 years ago and he crashed out on day 2. d'oh!
