Peter James: rolling a car is like being in a tumble dryer

Author Peter James talks about the joy – and pain- of racing classic cars.

Peter James – writer of the best-selling Roy Grace crime novels – talked to Motoring at the Goodwood Festival of Speed about his love of classic car racing.

He explained what he finds so addictive about it, but also discussed the downsides: earlier this year a serious accident in his vintage BMW left him badly injured and the car a wreck.

Here, Peter talks about how it feels to get back on the track, and how the experience could be used in one of his future novels.
