Richard West
Великобритания
Добавлен 25 янв 2012
My motorsport career began working in PR in UK national and world rallying with Ford and Datsun. In Formula 1 I held senior commercial positions with Williams, McLaren and Arrows and and latterly as a consultant to Ferrari's sponsor Asprey with Michael Schumacher. Additionally I worked in Group C Sports Car Racing as Marketing Director of TWR Jaguar and I also had a four year period as the overall administrator of British Touring Car Championship. In that career I raised in excess of USD165m in sponsorship and have worked with a total of eight world championship winning drivers.
Today I work as a motivational speaker, event host and performance business coach. I am also a thrice published business author through 'Performance at the Limit - Business Lessons from Formula 1 Motor Racing' published by Cambridge. My website is www.richardwestassociates.com

The Jaguar XJR-15 Experience with Richard West & Driver Tom Robinson
Between January 1989 and the end of 1991, I was the Marketing Director of Tom Walkinshaw Racing's Silk Cut Jaguar Group C Team. As a proud team member I still celebrate winning the Daytona and Le Mans 24 Hour races in 1990 and I have many memories of both the XJ220 Road Car programme, and in particular the design and build of the legendary XJR-15 carbon fibre V12 2 seater supercar created by TWR Special Vehicle Operations.

In 1994 I was given a passenger lap ride of the Estoril Circuit in Portugal with non other than 3 times World Champion, Ayrton Senna, the newest team member of the Rothmans Williams Renault F1 Team. At that time I was the ...

Many thanks to The-Race for plugging this great celebration of McLaren. Very well organised and great stories. Jo’s story about Ayrton at Adelaide was very moving.
Jo is one of the great people from F1 - I interviewed on on a Jaguar Enthusiasts Club podcast too as we are long term friends - you can find it at jecpodcast.co.uk/episodes/episode-72-meet-jo-ramirez-f1-legend-jaguar-fan I hope you enjoy it
Thanks to Bring back V10s I’ve found this great Jewel. 😍
Thanks to them for introducing you to our year of work that resulted in this excellent look at McLaren's glory years. Matthew and I enjoyed putting it together and I loved hosting it as a nowadays, professional host and presenter.
Looking forward to watching this, learned about it from BBV10s episode on 1993 British Grand Prix
Hi Richard - I hope you enjoy it - it is a look into the world that those of use lucky enough to have been with the team have enjoyed over the years - my period 84 to 88 was as golden as I am grey now! :)
Here from BBv10's!
Welcome and thanks for taking a look - a great event with much history and emotion - I hope you enjoy it.
Did Gordon Murray even get an invite?! Probably said: "I will only go if I am acknowledged as the sole chief designer of the MP4/4
The event was open to all members of the McLaren Old Boys and Girls Association.
Did they put Steve Nichols and Gordon Murray at the same table for fun!
Steve sat with the Senna's Mika H, Ron Dennis, John Barnard and some others ;)
I'm here from Bring Back V10s too! ❤
Welcome, I'll shortly be posting a range of interviews, comments on F1 etc, so thanks for joining me :)
Bring back V10's sent me
And very welcome you are too Alex - thanks for watching the 60th - the 50th on the channel is good too! :)
Top top job Westie as usual. Great interviews all delivered professionally with some humour thrown in for good measure. 😊
You're too kind - how's things in the sunshine my friend?
Bring back v10s sent me here, but I already saw this last year.😀 Cheers!
Welcome back and thanks for the comment ;)
Came he after a tip off from Glenn Freeman at The Race on the Bring Back V10s podcast. Glad he recommended it, fantastic watch
Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed it - what a night - unique for sure and thank you for watching.
@@theconsummatespeaker Thank you for putting it together, it is a genuine gem for geeks such as myself. I work in marketing too and have just sent a Linkedin request. Would be great to discuss more :)
I really appreciate your comment - thank you. It took 12 months to put together, but it was worth it :)
@@grumpy_car_nut Please send me your Linked in again - I have missed it - apologies.
Bring Back V10s sent me here.
My thanks to them, and for watching the 60th - it was a fantastic night, never to be repeated.
And very welcome you are too - I hope you enjoyed the 60th as much as I enjoyed my years at McLaren?
Prost legend forever🇫🇷👍
Four times World Drivers' Champion and one of the most fun and professional guys I was honoured to have worked with :)
RON DENNIS made Maclaren simple as that,
As Bernie Ecclestone once said to me…”Bruce McLaren started the team, Ron made it” - very true words 🙏
Lovely Video. Thanks for posting!!. Looked a great evening!!. So pleased to hear Ron at the end. I would imagine he was “challenging” to work for. I’m sure for many he was a pain in the Arse, but from the outside you couldn’t help but have a Soft Spot for him!!.
Never a pain but always a tough task master who never accepted second best. Hugely generous and loyalty was his number one driver and expectation. Those that worked for him including myself, we hugely proud of our time under his stewardship.
Let's not forget Emerson Fittipaldi who was world champion with McLaren...
He sure was and it was great to have him on video live that night for our guests.
Just finished watching the entire video. Although I'm only 29 and from Poland, I've been following F1 since 2006 and McLaren was my favourite team, and I was always interested in history of F1. That's why I'm here. Beautiful event. Thank you for putting it out there. Great to see Ron Dennis after many years of absence, smiling and relaxed. And all the people important in McLaren's story. And brilliant MC Mr West. McLaren in the black & silver West livery - that's my first memories of F1.
Very many thanks for your kind words and I’m so pleased you enjoyed the video. 👍
David coulthard on it don't forget he won 13 races for them and drove after a plane crash with broken ribs
DC was always a star and great to work with - sadly he was not available the night of the event.
So it's not only max Martin does not like he does not like jos as well
Bruce drove number 4 car the same number lando has
;) an honour!
Bruce and Ron are McLaren, shameful how they treated Ron
Please see my comment to @ducati916SPS :)
Ron Dennis i followed all my life 60 years ! he is more than may the force be with you ! he is the FORCE!
For sure, RD is THE team leader - never to be copied or repeated!
Totally! Ron Dennis made McLaren! Just think of what he turned it into and the drivers …….Lauda, Prost and the greatest of them all…….Senna! Just imagine if he could have walked on stage!
Whenever Ayrton's name is mentioned, people still hush. He was very special and that is why we were so pleased the Senna family joined us in November on that special gathering.
DC was and always will be a star driver - he's one who saw the opportunities which is why we still see so much of him on TV thankfully
That picture of Mika and Ron at the montage at the end 🥲
It was fantastic to see them together again. It was a very special night and I'm glad so many people are enjoying it from the video ;)
