Tutor Profile

27 years in motorsport tuition from track day first-timers to world champions.

Serious driver training is built around observation, experience and articulation. Each driver is different, each car, tyre and track combination creates a different set of requirements and only experience can focus all these elements correctly and quickly.

Wherever possible I start by sitting alongside a client on track, when a level of consistency and self-awareness in car is found, video and data becomes the relevant tool for coaching. I can supply video and data acquisition equipment where required.

My experience stretches from running race cars and spending every penny I earned to go racing, right through to a factory-supported season in British GT and multiple big budget 24hr race wins. I have 3 championship titles alongside numerous other notable results in UK motorsport in a huge range of different cars and budget ranges which gives me a rare insight to both ends of motorsport.

Testimonials

I have benefitted from Simon’s tuition since moving from karts to cars in 2013. He combines an encyclopaedic knowledge of UK racetracks with a calm, thoughtful and analytical approach to teaching. His focus on developing a driver’s understanding of car behaviour and how to influence it allows lessons learnt at one corner to be applied more generally to other corners, tracks and cars."
