AUTHOR
Sam D. Smith
Journalist
With over a decade of experience reporting on events from all across the globe, Sam D. Smith started his career as an amateur motorsport photographer while still in school. With a passion for storytelling, he soon became a fully-fledged journalist and editor while also winning runner-up for the Guild Of Motoring Writers’ Sir William Lyons Trophy. He headed BBC TopGear Sri Lanka as Editor-in-Chief and has contributed to Motor Magazine and TopSpeed.com. In his free time, Sam enjoys messing around with classic cars and dabbling in motorsport — both behind the wheel and trackside. You’ll find an eclectic collection in his garage, including a 1996 BMW 540i, 1973 Peugeot 404, 1983 Peugeot 505, and 1989 CE96 Toyota Corolla wagon.
