He played along despite pleas from his passenger and eventually lost control of the car in Burton-on-Trent.

Sergeant Christopher Sweetmore led the investigation for Staffordshire Police.

He said: “Woodward had consumed alcohol and was driving at an incredible speed in his performance sports car.

“He treated public roads like a racetrack and drove at speeds that terrified his passengers.

“It is only by sheer luck, rather than judgement, that we did not have to deal with a fatality that evening.”
