At Stripping the Dipping, we pride ourselves on sharing a broad range of perspectives from across the motorsport community.

One year ago, Thomas Nordquist was a car enthusiast, modifying his '93 Toyota Supra but hadn't raced a single seater car. After a Skip Barber Racing School programme, he finds himself on the Road to Indy, racing in the USF 2000 Series, following in the footsteps of Colton Herta, Kyle Kirkwood and Myles Rowe!

Thomas was hot footing it between tests when @F1Blag caught up with him, for this interview. Find out about how he got here so quickly, his dreams and what it's like at 19 years old to suddenly jump into a single seater racing series against people who have been racing for most of their lives!
