Gary is editor and writer for ReadMotorsport. He has many years experience of sports writing behind him after deciding (belatedly) that the world of accountancy wasn't for him.

When not writing and editing he likes to go to the cinema and sip a lovely cold pint of Guinness (not always at the same time).
