A professional racing driver with a career spanning three decades across contemporary and historic motorsport, our founder has certainly experienced many of the world’s greatest competition cars. After a single-seater career that carried him to Formula 3000—the final step before Formula 1—Sam found his true calling in endurance sportscar racing, claiming the 2004 European Le Mans Series LMP2 Championship as a works driver for Courage Compétition, followed by a five-year tenure with the modern-day Cadillac works team, Jota. Perhaps the ultimate highlight came when he represented Aston Martin at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the premier LMP1 category, piloting the iconic Gulf-liveried DBR1-2. A seven-time veteren of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Sam adjusted his focus to the vibrant world of historic racing in 2013. Judging by the silverware cluttering our office, this chapter has been every bit as successful—especially at Goodwood, where he has multiple wins, pole positions, and fastest laps to his name. It is through these dual worlds of modern and historic motorsport—and nearly twenty-five years as a respected private driver coach—that Sam has built the deep knowledge, expertise, and personal relationships that form the foundation of our business today.
