Scott had his first kart at 5-years-old and began racing cars by 16. Whist still a teenager, Scott won the EuroBOSS series twice - F3000 and F1 - taking 5 outright lap records at circuits throughout Europe along the way. In 2004 he was nominated for the BRDC's prestigious McLaren Autosport 'Young Driver of the Year' Award, eventually losing out to Force India's Paul di Resta. After testing with Christian Horner's Arden International GP2 team, Scott found it difficult to obtain large amount of funding needed for the following season and so competed in various IRL IndyLights meetings in the USA. Scott now focuses his race driving on the development of ex-F1 machinery and his ambitions to drive at Le Mans.

Whilst coaching Scott maintains a calm and professional approach both in and out of the car, assessing competence and confidence levels quickly and accurately. His instructions are clear and simple yet precise, so drivers will not get overloaded with information. Scott also has a very technical background and enjoys coaching at advanced levels, having the ability to concisely explain how to get the most out of any car.

Whilst the majority of his race experience has been with slicks and wings (F1 and sports prototypes), Scott is also very experienced with Ferrari race cars, Porsches and Caterhams (road and race).

David is a Grade 'S' ARDS instructor with many *many* many years instructing and racing experience. David was racing back in the days when motor racing was dangerous but sex was safe.. In the past he's helped a few drivers who have gone on to do very well such as Ari Vatanen, Bruno Senna and Marko Asmer to name a few. As well as winning a major British Saloon Car Championship, David has held lap records in both Britain and Europe. He's also a class winner in the European Touring Cars when he raced for Ford.

Davids proudest acheivement is that he's never hit anyone on a circuit accidentally - read into that what you will!

One of Davids most redeeming features is his desire to pass on his experience without being 'superior' or condescending. His favourite circuit is Mallory Park ('because of Gerrards') and least favourite (the word he used was 'scary') is the old road circuit at Brno in Czechoslovakia.

Favourite bands are Iron Butterfly and Its A Beautiful Day. An ex rugby player, David used to scout for Bath rugby and count several international players as friends. David was also a boxing champ as a child and his elder brother was English schools boxing champ and world grand masters judo champ.

He's married to June and has 3 children. His least credible incident is the time he got told off by an RAC steward for mooning on lap of honour at Brands Hatch. I think this tells you enough about this particular old timer!
