Why did you start?
I had always loved driving when I was younger, and joined the Under 17 Car Club when I was 14 and it was there that I drove my first Caterham. In 2000 my father saw an advert in the Daily Telegraph for the Caterham Academy, he asked me if I was interested (silly question) and the rest, as they say, is history.

Championships
FIA SPEED Euroseries which is supporting LMS, and selected rounds of the VdeV Endurance Proto Championship

Best Event
6hr night race at Magny Cours in 2010, torrential rain and pitch black. The worst conditions I've ever driven in. Just staying on the track and out of trouble an achievement in itself. We won our class and finished 3rd overall

2009 VdeV Snetterton 6 hour race. Finishing 3rd with my team mate, Ryan Hooker, in a difficult race and setting some of the quickest and consistent lap times in the wet.

Oulton Park in 2005, I finally broke my run of bad luck there! Qualified on Pole and finished 3rd in a very competitive race.

Worst Event
Any race at Oulton Park until 2005. This circuit seemed to be jinxed for me; every time I went there something fairly major went wrong!

Favourite Circuit/Venue
Imola
