“I am shitting myself to be honest mate”
These are the words of a man mere moments away from saddling up on the back of a MotoGP bike and ‘enjoying’ a lap around the world famous Silverstone track.
The prospect is indeed a daunting one. For the average human not accustomed to speeds faster than those of a car, hopping on a MotoGP bike is fairly terrifying, but thankfully we had MotoGP legend Randy Mamola for guidance.
With gear on and a GoPro equipped, we were ready to take to the track and see what all the fuss is about.
"So I am literally sweating buckets."
