How did you start in motorsport?

I have been involved with motorsport all my life. My dad started Stock-Car Racing when he was 12 and Rallying when he was 17. So i've been out in the woods spectating at rallies since I could walk. My first event was a Highland Car Club Road Rally when I was 15 and I started competing in Autotests when I was 16.

About a month after my 16th birthday I co-drove for my dad at a single venue rally at Knockhill in 2005 in his Opel Mnata

What was your biggest accident

I’d say on the Jim Clark Reivers Rally I was co-driving for Dave Retson in his 205 and on the macksmill stage we took a jump flat out in with 5th gear. There was a 50 meter straight then a medium right hand corner, we landed on the corner and went through a hedge sideways and rolled 3 times through a tattie field. It was my first ever accident and i didn't know wot to do!

As a driver I have got alot of experience to gain and a lot to learn, the more millage i get in the car on events the better. I dont think i will ever stop learning
