I understand that you are also a budding film maker – what kind of films do you make ? Is this an area you ’ d like to move into after your racing days ?
Yes I enjoying making the odd YouTube or Instagram short film of my travels as well as some car related content . This is mainly for fun and also to make the most of the fact that I ’ m so lucky to do all this cool stuff and I feel I should film it and share it with family , friends and of course fans .
What is your favourite film ?
That ’ s a hard one as I have so many but I love ‘ The Shawshank Redemption .’
Who is your hero ?
I think Zinardi the old F1 driver who lost both of his legs in an horrific F1 racing accident . He is now winning many Olympic gold medals as a paralympian and I find that very inspiring .
Have you been lucky enough to meet any racing legends ?
I have indeed - I guess I ’ m now at a point in my career that I meet most of the legends at awards nights or TV work / Track functions that we do . However , the one legend that I have never met but would have loved to is Ayrton Senna !
What are your 3 dream cars ?
• Shelby Mustang GT500 1967
• Porsche GT1
• Ferrari La Ferrari
You ’ ve been to many different places around the world – which is your favourite and why ?
If it had to be a city centre then it would be Tokyo in Japan . It ’ s beautiful , clean , the people are polite and I ’ ve although I ’ ve been there a number of times , I still feel like I ’ ve only scratched the surface .
Where do you like to holiday ? Do you unplug from work or do you always keep your tech with you ?
Unfortunately I can never fully unplug . However , I like to go to new places all the time , adventure and document it , meet new people and explore places that I ’ ve not seen !
You are the test driver for Liverpool ’ s Supercar company BAC Mono , so when you are in town - what are your favourite places to eat ?
I love my work at BAC Mono and it ’ s great to be in the area . I love eating at Neighbourhood on Castle Street in Liverpool - the vibe and food is right up my street .
You have a very busy schedule for 2017 , but apart from “ work ” what other thing would you like to achieve this year ?
I ’ d love to extend my stunt driving career - I ’ ve worked on two films so far and I would like to do more in 2017 . I ’ d also like to further develop my personal company , Supercar Days , a specialised track day company . It ’ s all great fun and car related stuff away from my main focus of the motorsport calendar !
