Once a racer…

Neil started karting at 11 years old and quickly established himself as the man to beat in Scotland. With his raw speed and desire to win, a few years later he was double Scottish Junior Karting Champion and the prestigious Junior TKM British ‘O’ plate Champion.

At 17 Neil progressed to single seater racing competing in the highly contested Formula Vauxhall Junior British Championship as a privateer, instantly proving to be a front runner, whilst learning the challenging British tracks.

Turning his hand to more affordable saloon car racing, Neil went on to win races in every class he entered picking up the, ‘most promising Scottish driver’ accolade along the way.

Before he was 18, Neil had obtained his ARDS instructors license. Working hard to build on his driving experience, he quickly progressed to ‘A’ grade level.

A passionate family man and professional airline pilot, Neils desire to compete at the highest levels of National motorsport is without question. Thanks to hard work, relentless determination and thorough understanding of the commercial benefits to marketing through motorsport, he is relishing the opportunity of being back on track.

After a successful two years racing in the Scottish Mini Cooper Championship picking up multiple wins, podiums and the outright lap record, Neil has since turned his focus back to open wheels, competing once again in single seaters at National level.

Looking for large grids, high levels of competition, excellent driving standards and of course, awesome thoroughbred race cars, Neil has entered the HSCC Historic and Classic Formula Ford 1600 Championship.

In addition to going wheel to wheeling his beautiful Merlyn Mk20A with like minded racers, Neil is relishing the opportunity of preparing and running his own car for the season ahead in a bid to accelerate his learning of everything Formula Ford.

As a qualified ARDS instructor and professional in his approach to racing and sponsorship, Neil is happy to work with sponsors to offer them the best value for their investment and is happy to discuss tailor made packages to suit all businesses and individuals.
