“We’ve been at Le Mans for the last five years so it would have been a great disappointment not to be there,” he said. “Le Mans is the jewel in the crown; it’s like Wimbledon, it would be a great shame not to do Wimbledon or the Open if you’re a golfer. It would have seemed like a big hole in the season if we weren’t there, but now thankfully we will be.

"It’s a lot of work, but we love it; it’s an amazing thing to be a part of every year and we’re desperately keen to get on the podium as we’ve never got there before.”

As far as JMW are concerned, the future is an exciting one, and isn’t that always the best way?
