McGuire has participated in several races including, Goodwood Members’ Meeting – Parnell Cup; Goodwood Members’ Meeting – Richmond Trophy; Benjafield 100 – Silverstone.

He expressed his happiness to have visited Albania while he praised the Albanian hospitality.

“I have travelled all over Europe taking part in car events. For many people, the car is the reason why they go to different places. While for me the reason why I go to different countries is life, the way people live what is happening in the world. The cars are metal; they are lifeless”, he said.

McGuire, who visited Albania for the first time, said that he was amazed by the nature and the people.

“I had this wonderful opportunity to come to Albania for the first time. It didn’t take me long to say ‘yes’. I came without any prejudice; I didn’t know anything how many people there were in Tirana. I didn’t know anything. My first impression at the airport was superlative. Then the taxi ride to the city center.

Just looking out the window, I had a positive feeling. Then, the event began. The hospitality? Extraordinary”, he said.

McGuire emphasized that it is the people who give life to the event, regardless of the platforms.

“They create the platform, but it is the people who come to use this platform and give life to the event. I always look for life. But, here in Albania I found it and it was wow. Youth, vibrant, economic advancement that you can feel, energy. All those things that make you live. I have had a fantastic life, but the future is what is happening here, it is youth, vibrancy, confidence”, he said further on.

McGuire said that he will be an ambassador for Albania. /j.p/p.s./
