The northern most driver in the Formula, Simon races out of Bradford in his Vauxhall Powered side engine car.
Originally starting racing in 1993 in a BriSCA F2 built with his father, Simon reached blue grade before looking to try other things such as motorcycle racing, Formula 1 Hovercrafts and Autograss as well as a very brief dabble with 1300 Saloon Stock Cars.
Coming into the 4th full year with the club Simon has taken a number of heat and final wins in that time along with the 2021 Graham Hill Trophy and a 4th place in the points title not to mention winning the best presented car award.
The 2024 season sees a new car and engine following a heavy crash in 2023 which saw racing curtailed in the latter half of the year.
Simon started racing back in 1993 in the BriSCA F2 Stock Cars under the number 811 in a home built car which took Simon to a number of wins and blue grade also seeing the 811 car qualify foir the 1995 European and National Championships.
In addition to the F2's Simon has also competed in Motorcycle Sand Racing, Autograss, 1300 Saloon Stock Cars and Formula 1 Hovercraft racing.
Simon would like to thank Sponsors and supporters Platinum Bodyworks, GME Motorsport and NorthWest Racing for their ongoing support and of course number 1 mechanic Steve.
