Driver Bio

I have been a massive car enthusiast for most of my life, and driving of all sorts has always been something I have enjoyed. Prior to racing, I had driven all sorts of vehicles, from my first car a Vauxhall Viva HC to my current Aston Martin V8 Vantage, including six years of blue light fire engine driving as a retained fireman.

My first racing season the 2020 Scottish C1 Cup. Whilst the season was short, I found a great group of friendly people and some thrilling driving. The C1 racing was excellent, close racing and really good way to learn about the finer points of motor racing, in some very competitive racing.

In 2021 I made move to the Fiesta ST 150s, building a challenge specification car with the help and support of Hogarth Motors. The season was fantastic, I had moderate success, with a class win and a third place in the challenge class and ninth in the main championship. Additionally, 311 was the only car to start and finish every race of the season.

With the full intentions of racing in the 2022 Scottish Classics, sold my Fiesta and set about building a Peugeot 205 GTI to race in late 2021. I very much underestimated the time and commitment involved in, what was, my first full build, rather than a conversion, working from a bare shell.

This, coupled with supplier issues, pretty much put paid to my 2022 season, and I decided to take up a generous offer to guest for Racing Awareness Scotland, in a Renault Megane F1, driving in Super Lap Scotland. The challenge of the time attack format really hooks you and it was a great way of keeping a drive going for the season.

For 2023, I am bringing the 205 GTI to race in the classics and I am very much looking forward to getting back out on track in my new toy.
