Simon Diffey is a pretty muscular man. If you need any proof head over to our YouTube channel and check out the moment he bumpstarted a Maserati 250F by pushing it with one hand.... So we know he can hadle a physical drive.

In this video the aforementioned Mr Diffey is piloting a stunning Bugatti T51 at the 2014 Revival in the Goodwood Trophy, chasing down an incredible array of pre-war machinary. Not only does the lack of power steering mean wrestling the big Bugatti round Goodwood looks knackering, but you'll notice that Simon also has to keep pumping his own fuel. It's a good job he always eats his Weetabix...
