On Saturday, Hugh Grant to run Swedish GT Race at Knutstorp. We met the British film star during his first training spell at the track.

– A great track. Not that I know of so many. But it is charming, says Hugh Grant, when he finished his workout. Which also contained two pirouettes when he spun around on the track.

– But I’ve never actually driven off and crashed. Knock on wood, says Hugh Grant when we get a brief chat with him afterwards.

The interview subject. No questions will be about his personal life. Something that one of those present tabloids breach, resulting in a Grant in less good spirits.

When he gets to talk cars , however, he is in great spirits. On Knutstorp he drives a Ferrari 458 Challenge Evolution together with the Swedish racing driver Fredrik Ekblom. Ferrari is one of Grant’s past loves.

– Yes, I’m a cliché. A middle-aged man who starts driving the Ferrari, he says, and tells about the first time he took a seat in the classic Italian sports car:

– It was an instant love. It took two seconds. Then I was stuck.

– Ferrari is like a distillation of Italy. The beautiful design, madness, glamor.

That he ended up in small Kagerod associated with that he got to know the car company Auto Ropas partner Martin Nelson last year.

– My car broke down and Martin helped me with it. Then we discovered that we both love cars. We went and visited, among other things, the Koenigsegg factory, says Hugh Grant.

Martin Nelson also took the opportunity to invite Hug Grant as co-driver to the company’s event at Knutstorp this weekend.

– He wanted to test my manhood and I said yes. I regret it now, says Hugh Grant with his familiar smile.

Now Hugh Grant no novice. He has gone to Ferrari courses at Fiorano race track, has also driven at Silverstone and also drives a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta private.

– And I have a Volvo, he adds.

The first car he owned was a Citroen Dayne.

– Which car did the 40 km and there were large rust holes in the floor.

On Saturday there will be However, violent traits. But Hugh Grant has no illusions about any prominent place.

– I will be a chance, he says.

For the audience, there is a chance to go with Hugh Grant. It will be auctioned medåkningar with Grant and the money goes to the Children’s Cancer Foundation.
