and start doing jumping jacks and pushups, it wouldn’t exactly be a surprise.
That was nearly 30 years ago, just one of many jobs Diffey had after graduating university, including stints working as a physical trainer, an attraction presenter at Warner Brothers Movie World , a construction laborer and other jobs.There even was a short stint of racing motorcycles himself, but he quickly realized he was a better announcer than a rider.. “I was just rolling with the punches.
Diffey and racers Townsend Bell and James Hinchcliffe bring the Indy 500 action into fans’ living rooms.“It was a very, very fast acceleration and a trajectory of learning and growing and different opportunities and just going with it, and at the same time pushing hard to find those opportunities as well.”
But getting serious again, the 52-year-old husband and father of two added, “I still pinch myself. Yeah, it was a very unconventional route here. And I feel very, very fortunate to have had a lot of people in my corner, believed in me and gave me opportunities to prove myself, whether it be in motorsport or other sports and other avenues.
Because he’s seemingly constantly in motion, traveling around the U.S. and internationally, while he’s appreciative of the success he’s had for over two decades, Diffey admits he has two regrets.
