    Mr Perry McCarthy

    Mr

    Perry McCarthy is truly exceptional – he is an ex-Formula One driver, a bestselling author and is world famous as the original secret racing driver from BBC’s Top Gear - 'The Stig'.

    To add to all this, Perry is very funny.

    Formula One is one of the world’s most popular sports but with only 20 drivers globally, selected by 10 teams each year, it is ultra-competitive and one of the toughest to join. The odds of racing across the many international levels to reach this level without financial backing is quoted as a million to one, but that’s exactly what Perry McCarthy did.

    In the world of International Motor Racing, McCarthy is known for his speed and humour, but he is also famous for his incredible determination, opportunism and deal making abilities. Perry’s motto is ‘Whatever it takes’.

    His never say die attitude and incredible story is inspirational.

    Damon Hill, 1996 F1 World Champion, said of McCarthy ‘I have constant admiration for how he turns a no hope situation into some sort of triumph.

    As a corporate speaker, Perry has given over 1500 appearances to organisations world-wide. His talks are fast paced and engaging as he entertains audiences with the fascinating story of his own journey and attitudes, while also providing a revealing insight to the ultra-competitive culture central to Formula One.
