The Original Stig and
Formula 1
Driver
Perry literally clawed his way to the top with very little backing but, with talent, dedication, determination and that famous sense of humour he always gets everyone’s attention. The fact that he was the original ‘Stig’ has a crowd cheering before he’s even started talking!
Throughout his entire motor racing career, Perry was renowned not just for his speed and determination, but for his sense of humour and sideways look at life.
His quick wit and ability to deride himself, and others, has entertained spectators, race guests and even rival teams and drivers, in pit lanes, paddocks and bars across the world.
His popularity has since catapulted him into being in high demand for large and small corporations all over the world. With his unique and alluring style, Perry engages audiences with hilarious anecdotes and tales of highs and lows.
Perry’s speeches are fast paced and include stories about his role as the original Stig (from Top Gear), his rise to Formula One, some misadventures at 200 miles per hour and comic sketches on Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Raikkonen, Nigel Mansell, Murray Walker and of course, Jeremy Clarkson.
Perry happily invites audiences to ask him questions about cars, driving, Top Gear and Formula One before signing autographs (if required).
Perry is also a great choice as a motivational speaker. Known for his speed and humour, he is also famous for his determination.
Perry’s route to formula 1 was plagued by a huge lack of finance but, against the odds, he somehow found the determination and drive to keep his dream alive of becoming a Grand Prix driver.
Perry is in high demand to give inspirational and motivational speeches which link his background, experience and attitude to the business world and its requirements.
Perry writes bespoke speeches to echo a client’s key messages and can include the themes of:
Team work, organisation and communication
Building from success and building from failure
