Leanne Fahy BA Hons.
Being part of a family that is passionate about motor sport it was a given that my interest would take the same path. Having been a fan of all forms of the sport for the past ten years, and also a keen writer, I decided a career within the public relations and journalism side of motor racing was ideal. After studying English Language with Journalism at The University of Huddersfield for three years, and also a week’s work experience at Motorsport News, I was presented with the chance to start a career as a freelance motor sport journalist.
From here, I have been able to progress into freelance PR work. So far in my career I have been fortunate enough to meet many different people, who have all played a part in getting me to where I am now. I would like to help others coming up through the ranks of motor sport, through the writing and PR services I offer.

Paul Luti:
Paul’s motorsport career first began in bikes, when after being given a petrol powered 70cc Honda trike at the age of four, he was lead into the world of trial bikes. Prior to taking part in trial bike competition, Paul had a brief stab at karting, before deciding trial bikes were where he really wanted to be.
After falling ill at the age of 19, Paul was unable to compete in trial bikes anymore; given that they are essentially competing in the middle of nowhere, it was too risky for him, should anything happen. With this in mind it was decided he should change direction slightly and turn his talents to circuit racing.
Paul has contended various seasons in the Scottish Saloon Car Championship and the Northern Saloon and Sports Car Championship, progressing to the MGCC MG Trophy Championship in 2008.
For 2009 Paul will again contend the MG Trophy, however has switched from his MG ZR to an MG TF for this season.
