The 40-year-old, who first raced with Nissan in 2014 after his retirement from cycling, said: I remember getting a Scalextric track when I was five or six. One of the cars had headlights on it.I remember asking my dad why and he said thats for the Le Mans 24 Hour race - they race through the night.I didnt do this to replace my cycling, but in many ways I get to carry on some of the really enjoyable parts of my cycling career into motor sport.Its exactly the same feeling you have when youre about to race, doesnt matter whether its on a bike, in a car or even when I was younger, racing BMXs. Theres still that excitement, the nervousness, the adrenaline.I never thought Id feel that again once I retired from cycling - I thought that was the end of that part of my life.
