I really can’t believe it’s only been 4 years since this:

I was on the other side of the circuit, jumping up and down as I do; Nicki promised donuts and he delivered, pretty much right in front of us! As the plume of smoke began to rise around the car, a friend turned round and said what’s going on? I replied: “That’s just Nicki …”

And that is Nicki, someone who has had me in fits of giggles over the years, a family man, perhaps one of the fastest drivers I have ever watched, but above all with a really good sense of humour.

Go get the pizza, let the pig Porsche pass and don’t pee in the seat Marco!

I’ll never forget him licking the new tyres at LeMans and how he used to take the mick out of Marco and his snacks… ah good times for sure. I just had to go find the tyre licking video:

Miss you both on the track, but thanks for the inspiration to start this community Nicki !
