Hi - I’m Rory, a sports journalist with experience in PR and a speciality in covering Formula 1 and motorsport.

I graduated in 2017 with a degree in Journalism Studies from the University of Sheffield. During that period, I freelanced for Autosport Magazine and the national motorsport championship, GT Cup.

Since then, I have worked for a global motorsport PR agency, working with clients including the FIA, G-Drive, Formula E World Champion Jean Eric Vergne, and motorsport suppliers Geobrugg.

Most recently, I covered Formula 1 for leading independent motorsport news websites RacingNews365 and F1Oversteer. I also started off my own Substack and gained exclusive interviews with F1 personalities.

Writing

With over seven years covering motorsport for various publications, I specialise in writing about the politics of Formula 1, news editing, features and opinion writing for print and digital.

PR

I have five years of experience writing press releases and producing PR content for various clients including the FIA, Geobrugg, SAFEisFAST, GT Cup, and provided PR support for G-Drive Racing at Le Mans and Formula E World champion Jean Eric Vergne.

Video/Social

I provided written social media copy for clients designed to tell a story and follow the conversation, while also engaging with the latest trends. I have produced graphics and edited videos appropriate for YouTube, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook and LinkedIn.

While I mainly cover F1 and motorsport, I also take a keen interest in tennis and football.
