They couldn’t be a more fitting partner for me, as it is a company which continually aims to be the best it can possibly be and loves the business it’s in. Motorsport is my life, I love it and I’m always pushing the boundaries to go further.  It has been a thrilling season so far and I hope Bibby Offshore can share in my success.
