After graduating from university with a History degree, Paul Fearnley joined Motoring News in 1990 as its junior rally reporter. He was its editor by the end of 1997. Editorships of F1 Racing and Motor Sport magazines followed. Turning freelance in 2005, he has written about numerous other sports. But always he returns to his beloved motor racing. He lives in France with his author/illustrator wife Jan – plus five cats and goats, and two dogs and donkeys.
