Experiences

When I was at Nurburg I was lucky enough to do a lap sat along side Scott Marshall – what a lap! His car control and preciseness was outstanding – so fast. It was a fantastic lap 9min in a Ford fiesta ST with 4 people in the car. Thanks Scott it was such a WOW!

It was my first trip to the Nurburgring and Scott had prepped me by saying it was going to be very different from anything else I’d ever done before. He wasn’t wrong. The whole build up was fantastic, meeting the team that were supporting the car and getting to see the underpinnings of what goes on in the garages was mind blowing. Highly recommended experience for anyone interested!

One of the most incredible experiences I have had in a car, a few passenger laps around Silverstone showed me how visceral an environment the racing driver is exposed to. The time flew by but the memory lingers long after the event, highly recommended.

Scott has a genuine passion for racing and sharing his experience, which is very apparent in his friendly and helpful instruction.

Recently spent a very enjoyable weekend with Scott at the Nurburgring – he was racing a 550hp Porsche. I have known Scott for about 3 years but this was the first time I had seen him racing and wow, this boy is quick! Scott is a quietly spoken, very laid back kind-of-guy – very fit and easy to get on with. Having watched him racing and being driven round the Ring for a couple of laps in a very quick Fiesta over-taking much faster race cars I was very impressed. So would I recommend Scott to any one thinking of taking up racing or just learning how to get the best out of there own car at a track day? Absolutely yes! He is very passionate, patient, easy to get on with petrol-head who just loves anything to do with sport.

In the summer I spent a truly memorable day at Silverstone in my 964RS being coached by Scott. When he initially asked me what I wanted to achieve, I told him that I wanted to be able to drive the car home at the end of the day… which I duly did with a very wide smile on my face. I’ve done track days before but the focus normally has been on getting on track without really understanding the principles of car control, weight distribution and braking. Being able to immediately tap into Scott’s considerable racing experience in a variety of  cars was a privilege from which I learnt a lot. Being able to focus on the aspects that I wanted to improve made it feel very much ‘my day’. Scott’s calm influence in the car really helped me to deal with the pressures on track. All in all it was a great day and…he’s a thoroughly nice, approachable guy!
