Mark Hughes, the author, raced cars long before he ever began to write about them, competing in karting and Formula Ford in the 1980s. He began his journalistic career at motorsport weekly Motoring News in 1988, where he worked for five years, becoming International Racing Editor. Since 1996 he has been working for Autosport as Grand Prix Editor at Large. His insights into the techniques and psychology of racing have been honed on the race track, where he has performed with distinction - including the 1994 season racing for Nigel Mansell's TVR Tuscan team. One of his lap records from 1995 still stands. He has also test-driven Formula One cars for March, Arrows and Williams.
