It wasn't until the last safety car, with about an hour to go, that I felt we could win as it was looking as though we needed to take another stop over the #8 car. If that was the case for sure Peugeot would have told us to stop racing and just finish. As it turned out the yellows came up, both cars pitted, we were half a lap apart and that was basically it. Peugeot made the call that we were to stop racing and it would have been foolish to play it any other way.

It was kind of a repeat of when my brother took Peugeot to their last victory at Le Mans because the same thing happened to him. They were leading to a point where Peugeot asked the team's cars to stop racing and, barring any problems, remain in position to the finish. It was important for Peugeot to win and it didn't really matter which car did it, they just needed to win.

It's hard to pick out one single highlight from last week. All of this is such a great memory. Everything from experiencing all of the ups and downs we were having throughout the race and having to change our tactics, to keeping an eye on the #8 car and what the #1 Audi was doing. I expected the Audis to be stronger in the race and that gave us a window to play with, which set us up for the win.

It was pretty neat to hear my brother's voice on a set of ear phones, having a live commentary conversation with Speed channel in America - they were broadcasting the race. When my friend Justin Bell just put the headphones on me I had no idea what I was going to hear, but I heard Geoffrey talking about what had happened to him back in 1993. To hear his voice with only half an hour to go was a touching moment but the entire week was an amazing experience.

I spoke to Geoffrey the next morning and he said he knew I was going to win because everything that had happened to me with the Peugeot programme was a mirror image of what happened to him all those years ago. And it's true, just the way the race panned out, the point when the team said that they couldn't afford to have the cars racing and the fact that we were both in front when that decision was made.

It's unbelievable to think that 16 years on the same race was happening again, to D Brabham, instead of G Brabham.

It was great to be back in LMP1 at Le Mans. It was interesting, because whenever I was driving and there was another Peugeot in front of me, or I was watching the big screen and seeing the cars come out of the corner and on to the Mulsanne straight, just before the first kink, I would think; 'That car is so cool. Hang on a minute – I'm driving one of those!' It was just incredible to be given the opportunity to drive such a wonderful car so suited to Le Mans and really each of the #7, 8 and 9 Peugeot 908 HDi FAP's had a great shot at winning.

As far as Le Mans next year goes, a lot will depend on Highcroft Racing, as I am pleased to say I will still be under contract with them. If they go to Le Mans in 2010 I will be going with them. If they don't go then that leaves an opportunity but only with their blessing.

I've got a few weeks now until we head to Lime Rock for round five of the American Le Mans Series with Patrón Highcroft Racing where we'll be aiming to extend our LMP1 class lead once again. But there's plenty for me to do in the meantime.

As well as my press engagements with Peugeot, I'll be appearing at Coopers Square shopping centre, in Burton upon Trent, on Saturday 27 June and I'll also be at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Both events are part of the celebrations surrounding the 50th anniversary of my father's first Formula One World Championship crown and will give me a rare chance to catch up with my fans here at home in the UK. Hope to see you there!
