Jamie Duff

Surprise, surprise! Today we had a surprise by Jamie Duff and got to see his race car. The race cars they use are made out of the lightest metals and the strongest metals e.g. titanium, aluminium. we got to feel the bolts that would go into the car, they felt as if they were plastic. different parts of the race car felt different, for instance some bit of the car felt really slimy. I was excited about this 'MYSTERY PERSON' because I didn't really know who he was but I had heard of him before. I found out that Jamie had grown up around race cars and his dad inspired him and as he grew older at around 16 he was tiny but he as just tall enough to reach the pedals and at his first race people were like ' who is that driving '  and ' no way he's driving that '.I have enjoyed this experience that I had today and it was amazing that people from our school organised this. Here are some photos from Rimu meeting Jamie Duff and his dad!!
We also made it into the newspaper YAHOOO!
