Perry McCarthy
Our guest speaker in the night is an ex-Formula 1 driver, and non-other than the original ‘Stig’ from Top Gear.
Perry’s sense of humour and his rise to the top in the world of international motor racing is legendary; from working on North Sea oil rigs to becoming a Grand Prix driver, he constantly overcame huge hurdles, including serious injury, to pursue his dream. In fact, according to F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone, with no financial backing, ‘the odds of him actually reaching F1 were about a million to one’.
He is a championship winner, best-selling author, he has raced the fastest cars against the fastest drivers in the world, and he’s with us share a few laughs about his against the odds journey and of course, his secret identity as The Stig.
Some say he might also mention his new 0.0% beer, aptly named DRIVER!
