Stewart Paterson



Name: Stewart Paterson
Race Number CS46
How did you get involved in Autograss? Saw the track being built, and went along for a look, played with the idea and eventually built a car.
Have you been involved in any other motorsport? I used to work on BRISCA f2 stock cars, helping my friend out whenever I could, and learned a lot so the natural progression was to eventually race myself.
Who is your hero? Hard question! In formula one I would have to say Mika Hakkinen, but in terms of the racing I have been involved in, I would say my mentor would be Gordon Moodie, but as for heros I would say Bill Batten, Rob Speak , Bert Finniken. I could probably make an endless list!
What have you done that you’re most proud of? Winning my first final in class one, and winning the final at the open Scottish Open was good as my Dad came along that day.
If you won the lottery, what would be the first addition in your garage? Not too sure, in terms of supercars I would have to have a Ford RS200 and or a Metro 6R4, but for a race car I wouldn't know until I had the cash in front of me so younever know!
What is your "claim to fame"? I dont have one, I'm not as good a driver as I would like to be so until I am I can't claim anything!
What other interests do you have I enjoy all types of racing so that takes a lot of my time away, I enjoy working on my car just as much as I do racing it (honestly), I like watching darts and dirty women a swell lol
Tell us something interesting about yourself: Im just about finished my apprenticeship as an engineer, I work in a large machine shop in glenrothes in fife, I dont smoke, drink rarely and before you ask I am not The Stig!
Anything else you would like to tell us about: What else would you like to know? I have a lot of people to thank and I have a massive list, too large to list here, I would just like to wish every one good luck for the rest of the season and next and I hope everyone enjoys their racing as much as me!
