Homegrown Heroes

Did you know the Olympic veteran's maths teacher was Romesh Ranganathan? Brad Hall grew up in Crawley and now lives in Bewdley, Worcestershire. He describes getting ready for his third games as driver, the pressure of a purpose-built track and his preparation – which involved taking the comedian for a sliding session like he’s never had before.
