Explaining how he enjoys his vehicles, Ramsay revealed: "The only way I really get to understand these cars is on the track. Three or four times a year we rent a track out, truck them down there, I bring in mates. Silverstone and Thruxton, the biggest track in the UK."

Humble Upbringing
Gordon said he went to school with holes in his trousers.
The Michelin-starred chef attributed his obsession to his humble upbringing in Scotland.
He shared: "I think it's growing up in poverty, on a council estate, a sort of deprived area.
"Going to school with holes in your trousers and your mum having to put leather patches on your knees that turned out quite cool. Getting called out by your mates for dinner tickets because you don't have the money to buy food."
Despite his global fame and successful restaurant empire, Ramsay confessed he rarely dines in his own establishments. "All the attention makes me uncomfortable!" he admitted, saying he has only eaten at them twice in 25 years.
