Swift started his stunt driving career at the age of seven where he learned to drive the family’s ride on lawn-mover on two wheels. Within three months of practicing, he set a world record performing the stunt over a distance of 230m. At the age of 16, Swift began competing in a form of motorsport called Autotesting with both Durham & Hartlepool motor clubs.
After winning the regional championship in 1998 he moved up the national championship.
In the years to follow he clinched seven national titles, winning over 40 national events outright as well as representing England on many occasions. The following season, after winning his seventh British Championship, Swift announced his retirement from autotesting and left his job as a mechanical engineer to concentrate fully on stunt driving.
Swift has over 20 years experience and employs a team of precision drivers. In recent years this team have appeared at motoring events throughout the globe, with live action performances.
