Iain Banks, on driving a Formula One car

[gerisullivan]

This one's for debgeisler, benveniste, and like-minded fans saddened by Iain Bank's death.

Iain Banks drives an F1 car (CAR magazine, June 2000).

I'm glad Iain's life included the experience, and thankful he wrote about it.

:-) I think I read this at the time (online, since getting CAR is not worth the postage from the UK, no matter how much of a gearhead *and* Anglophile I am). Thank you for reminding me about how joyous and exhilirating this was.

Massive gulps, Mr. Banks. You helped us live that way, too.
