Perry McCarthy is a past Formula 1 and Le Mans driver, a bestselling author, corporate speaker, presenter, and he was the original secret driver on the BBC’s Top Gear TV show – The Stig. With virtually no money and working on North Sea oil rigs to fund his initial entry, Perry climbed to the top of international motor racing against the odds. Perry is well known for his flat-out approach to life and also for his famous sense of humor. He is ‘chairman’ of the infamous ‘Rat Pack’ consisting of F1 drivers Damon Hill, Johnny Herbert, Mark Blundell, Martin Brundle, Derek Warwick, Julian Bailey and Martin Donnelly. At 58 years old he made a comeback to racing in 2019 in the ultra-exciting Titans RZ European Rallycross Championship.
