My name is Simon Rook, I am an automotive engineer with 12 years experience, most of that working on engine management systems, although I also have experience in working on cooling, fuels and exhaust systems. Most of this was gained working for a major OEM, but for the last 3 years I have worked for consultancy companies.

I am Married with 2 children, and my other interests are my Sierra XR4x4 (see my other cars), motorsport, photography, bellringing and reading, although my Locost-esque is my first kit car build, I have been modifying my road cars for the last 15 years, so hopefully, this is the logical progression from that!

I am a keen motorsport enthusiast, although my favourite branch is rallying, including an annual pilgrimage to see what I still think of as the RAC rally, although now the Network Q ‘rally of south Wales’!
