several of the companies’ key accounts including, somewhat fortuitously, Porsche. But it also means that his racing ambitions have been somewhat balanced by the realities of maintaining a professional career, a partner, house and life’s usual day-to-day business. “I had in my mind that I wanted to make a living out of the sport, but as you get older you have
a bit of a think about things and now I’ve got a mortgage and debts, it means you can’t really live off the sport. I work fairly closely with motorsport, as our Advertising agency has the Porsche account, so it all works well but I’d say it’s going to be second to working full time. But as long as I can work and race as competitively as I can, I’ll be good.
“I’d love to do Carrera Cup,” Ross adds, singling out the next logical step in Porsche’s motorsport pyramid. “Financially it’s hard to achieve, but I’d like to stay in the Porsche family and still do Sports Car racing... perhaps go and do some more Group N races with the old man – that’s great fun racing with Dad – but I’ll definitely stay in Porsche’s if I can.”
