I love racing and I've always enjoyed racing. I love to try and go back to the local short tracks and do those races. And sometimes I do.
I like road-course racing.
I like to watch rallies. Every time I go, I park the car where the fans park - I don't have any special tickets or permission to go - and I walk six kilometers.
But my passion is racing cars. It's what I like to do in my off time.
I had no idea at two or three years of age that my dad was a rally driver and he was doing doughnuts around the world.
When I go to rallies and I see other people driving, I feel I would much rather be behind the wheel myself. That is where I get the most excitement.
I'm a car fanatic and each morning I wake up with a smile on my face, whether I'm commentating on the Formula One or at Silver Hatch racetrack in Roary the Racing Car.
The thing I love about off-road racing is the pride in how abusive it is.
In a rally car when you put a 20 kg spare wheel in a car which is weighing 1,300 kg, you feel it.
The Baja is a survival race, and there is no break, but you're not up on the wheel all day in the Baja like you are in Winston Cup or at Indy.
You don't come around to the pit lane every mile; when you leave on a rally, you're gone for 500 miles in certain stages. You've got to work on your own car and fix it. It's a logistical nightmare, and it really challenges me.
Every single rally is a different character.
I'm definitely more one of the drivers who would want to do Daytona, Le Mans, and the Indy 500.
We have the best driver in the world in drifting and best guy in rally racing and stuff like that. So obviously there's a lot of stuff that I didn't do, but there's a lot of really incredible things that I don't think we've ever seen an actor do.
I've always had a fascination with cars and racing, not that I've ever competed.
In order to become a complete driver I believe that rallying will give me extra bits, because of gravel, because of different characteristics.
I hear a lot of people who say they enjoy watching the road course races over the ovals.
Everybody who rides a motorbike thinks they can ride MotoGP. Anybody who does a Gran Fondo thinks they can do pro cycling. Anyone who drives a Corsa thinks they can do Formula 1.
I love the Dakar Rally, the Baja stuff.
Rally points scoring is twenty for the fastest, eighteen for the second fastest, right down to six points for the slowest fastest.
