Tom, 17 has been driving since he could see over the wheel of a car. His family have owned and run Langley Park Rally School (LPRS), near Saffron Walden, Essex since Tom was young so he has had plenty of “bum in seat” experience as his Dad, Simon, likes to say.
At LPRS, Tom gets to drive all types of cars from a Mitsubishi Evolution 4 Group A rally car to a Mk2 Ford Escort to a Peugeot 205. Not only does he drive these cars, but he teaches the customers too when he’s not studying at college. He’s currently attending Cambridge Regional College to complete an engineering course to widen his already vast knowledge on the mechanical aspects of cars.
Tom, of course, loves all things motor sport related from riding quad bikes to watching rage buggy’s to building, restoring and respraying competition cars and has a general passion to make and design things, but he does find time to pursue other interests. His family keep various farm animals like sheep and pigs which he shares responsibility for. Having grown up in the countryside, he loves fishing, clay and game shooting and riding his mountain bike. At school, he wason all the rugby teams and spends time building up his physique at the gym. Toms ambition is to one day become World Rally Champion and to continue with the family business.
