Paul Gerrard

Paul F. Gerrard is an accomplished television personality, professional racing driver, precision/stunt driver, advanced driving instructor, vehicle evaluator, presenter and author/podcaster.

His career started in Europe, winning a prestigious Winfield Scholarship that led to successfully racing formula cars in both Europe and the United States. He made the transition into racing sports cars and simultaneously started instructing a wide range of drivers from military special forces to aspiring racers to teen drivers. Next on his progression was television, appearing as an automotive expert and driver on shows such as "Top Gear" (UK and US editions), "Grand Tour," "MythBusters," "Speedmakers," "Supercars Exposed," "Ultimate Factories" and many others. He was “The Stig” for Top Gear for 8 years and continues to work with the same team on the Grand Tour and Top Gear.

In 2015 he became a host, test driver and podcaster for TFLcar, a massive YouTube car review site. He has presented on every automotive topic imaginable and specializes in making technology and driving easy to understand for people at any level. In 2017 Gerrard became a published, best-selling author (“Optimum Drive,” Mango Publishing). He has continually raced, winning several national championships along the way, racing everything from Pikes Peak to just about every professional road racing series all the way to being ranked number three in the world in vehicle jumping distance for a 2011 Hot Wheels Stunt.

Additionally, under his belt is over two decades of racing driver coaching and director level responsibilities at some of the most advanced racing schools in the world. While his passion is and always was racing, Gerrard has cultivated and created a career that allows him to not only enjoy his passion but do something that is perhaps even more satisfying… share that passion for what he considers the most accessible and highest-level mechanical interaction possible… a car and our uniquely human ability to connect with it (and what that says about us).
