Ross Alkureishi spent 12 years as a lecturer in sport and exercise science before realizing that students were even more demanding than the old jalopies he ran in his spare time. In 2009 he turned to motoring journalism, learning his trade as staff writer at Classic Cars magazine (Thoroughbred & Classic Cars outside the UK). Today he regularly contributes to a range of magazines, bringing the same high-tempo writing style to any subject, be it barreling over the Alps in a rally homologation special, learning to drive a 1920s Bentley, or interviewing a racing icon.
