The teams.

Who I'm with this season, and the racing and sport that came before it.

This season.

    Invicta Racing

    FIA Formula 2

    Formula 2 is one step from Formula 1, and the pit crew train as hard as any sports team I've worked with. My job at Invicta is the stops: the biomechanics of every role in the crew, and the choreography that ties them together.

    • The Formula 2 car. In a stop there are a dozen people around it, every one of them doing a repeated, loaded movement against the clock.
    • I work with the pit crew. I film the stops, break down the biomechanics of each role and work on the choreography with them, so the stops get quicker and nobody gets hurt.

    GT3 endurance

    Endurance racing is four drivers, one car and up to 24 hours. Who's rested, who's hydrated and who's about to tweak a back matters as much as lap time, and the crew are on their feet all night.

    • A Porsche 911 GT3 R. The cockpit is closed and it gets seriously hot in there, so we sort out cooling and hydration before the weekend starts.
    • I'm there for the whole team across a race weekend, getting each driver ready for their stint, treating anyone who needs it, and working with the crew on the stops.

    Nielsen Racing

    LMP2, European and Asian Le Mans Series, Le Mans 24 Hours

    With Nielsen I work with the drivers and the crew. We run four-hour LMP2 races in the European and Asian Le Mans Series plus the Le Mans 24 Hours, and I look after driver prep and recovery and work with the pit crew on the choreography of our stops.

    • An ORECA LMP2 prototype. Three drivers share it over a race, so driver changes are part of the stop and part of my job.
    • All of the driver prep and recovery across the weekend, and the choreography of the pit stops with the crew.

If your team could use this, let's talk.

Tell me what you're dealing with, which series and when. I read everything myself and I'll get back to you the same day if I can.
