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. His work has been featured on (among many others) BBC Sport and The Metro, where he specialised in all things Norwich City. He has written on many sports, including F1 for GPfans, the subject in which he now considers himself an expert. 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).
