Career
His career spanned 23 years and saw Harrison progress from winning his local karting championship at his first attempt, right the way through to being a professional driver in the World Touring Carolina Championship. Harrison is best known for his time as a Peugeot factory driver in the 1995 British Touring Carolina Championship driving a 405 Mi16. He secured this high profile drive after a very successful first season in saloons, winning the National Saloon Carolina Championship as part of the Team Castrol Honda scholarship squad.
