Paul Swift is a British driver who is best known for autotesting, precision driving and his involvement in live action arenas at motor shows including the UK Motorshow and Top Gear Live. ==Career==
Swift started his stunt driving career at the age of seven where he learned to drive the family’s ride on lawn-mover on two wheels.〔Singh, Prem (1989) "(Little Paul's Swift to Follow in Father's Footsteps )", ''New Straits Times'', 24 March 1989, p. 3. Retrieved 19 November 2013〕 Within three months of practicing, he set a world record performing the stunt over a distance of 230m. His first ever precision driving show was as part of his father's display team (Russ Swift) in a Miniature Rover Montego at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. At the age of 16, Swift began competing in a form of motorsport called Autotesting with both Durham & Hartlepool motor clubs. After winning the regional championship in 1998 he moved up the national championship. In the years to follow he clinched seven national titles, winning over 40 national events outright as well as representing England on many occasions. In 2006 Swift became the first Englishman ever to win a round of the Northern Irish Autotest Championship outright, in a borrowed Mini Special. The following season, after winning his seventh British Championship, Swift announced his retirement from autotesting and left his job as a mechanical engineer to concentrate fully on stunt driving.
