Engineering in Motorsport
Whilst still at school, Neil built his first car; a Lotus Seven replica. He also started karting and often raced on slicks in the wet. This was his introduction to sliding around corners, and although he enjoyed the racing, he found the control element more rewarding.
Neil has a Masters Degree in Automotive Engineering and played his part in achieving 4 Double World Championships with Red Bull Racing.
After designing Formula One racing cars, building a track-prepared Ginetta G20 and tuning the handling characteristics of various performance cars, he has built up a solid understanding of car mechanicals and handling. Instead of throwing money at improving car performance, he focused on understanding and exploring the performance band, acquiring car control that has been described as ‘exceptional’.
