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!
