Steve Ruston

Steve Ruston first cut his teeth in motorsport racing in mini-stox on short ovals between the age of 12-18 years old, before taking a hiatus from racing and turning his attention to business.

Steve's second stint in racing came in his mid 20's with several succesfull seasons racing in the highly competitive Caterham Seven Championship UK. A further 9-year-hiatus from racing followed to pursue his rapidly growing business Westcroft American Motorhomes.

The racing bug was still very much in him, though, and in 2015 Steve got involved in motorsport once again. He returned to the Caterham Sevens Championship, where he completed two more seasons. After that, Steve made the switch into GT racing, teaming up with friend and co-driver John Whitehouse.

Sticking together ever since, John and Steve won the overall GT Cup championship in 2019 and retained the GTH crown in 2020. They joined Paddock Motorsport in 2021 and moved up to GT3s with the team for the 2022 season.

A relative late starter in motorsport, John Whitehouse has more than worked hard enough to make up for any lost time. Also starting his career in the Caterham Sevens UK Championship, John spent several years learning his craft in the series before teaming up with Steve Ruston and switching to GT racing.

After two years in a Ginetta G55 GT4, Ruston and Whitehouse took the decision to switch manufacturers to race a McLaren 570S GT4. The move paid instant dividends as the pair went on to claim both their class and overall GT Cup championships. The 2020 season saw the pair successfully defend their GTH Class championship.

 
For 2021, Ruston and Whitehouse switched to the newly formed Paddock Motorsport team. Initially, luck was not always on the pair's side, with their results not doing their pace or work ethic justice. By the second half of the season, though, they were both back to their best, recording five podium finishes in the final three rounds of the season, which also included a win in the endurance race at Snetterton at the final round of the season.

Having won all there is to win in the GTH Class, the popular pairing have moved up into GT3 racing for 2022 - still remaining with Paddock Motorsport, in a McLaren, and in the GT Cup.

TEHMUR CHOHAN

TOM ROCHE

Tehmur Chohan is a British-Pakistani racing driver who competes with Paddock Motorsport in the GT Cup. Although this is his debut season in GT4 machinery and in GT racing as a whole, Tehmur has a wealth of experience in karting.

Having started his career in Dubai aged 8, Tehmur was a two-time UAE karting champion by the time he turned 12. After that he competed in a variety of prestigious karting series across Europe, including LGM, BNL, Super One, the British Grand Prix Kart Masters and the Rotax Grand Finals World Championship.

In 2017 he stopped karting in order to focus on education, only returning to racing after completing his A-Levels. Making the move straight from karting into GT racing, Tehmur joined Paddock Motorsport for the 2022 GT Cup campaign, where he partners Tom Roche.

Only 19-years-old, Tehmur balances his motorsport commitments with university studies in Manchester.

Starting out in karting, it was in Mazda MX5s that Welshman Tom Roche made his name as a racing driver. 

Winning his first Mazda championship in 2009, he is highly experienced in MX5s, now with nine titles to his name.

He spent a season driving an Audi GT3 in the British GT Championship in 2013, returning to Mazdas for 2014. After that, he set up Car Chase Heroes, a company which offers customers the chance to drive iconic cars from films and other legendary cars with dedicated driving experiences.

Since then he has continued to try his hand in all kinds of cars; Roche won two races as a guest driver in the Ginetta GT4 SuperCup in 2017, returning to the series and winning more races in 2018, before switching to the Porsche Carrera Cup GB. In his first year, he finished 7th in the championship, and was also crowned Rookie Champion.

The 2022 season marks his first entry in the GT Cup championship, partnering with Paddock Motorsport in the 

#26 GTH entry. 

Former professional rugby player, Scott Wright gained various school boy age grade achievements, before being scouted by Worcester Warriors and signed his first full time professional contact at just 17 years old. Scott enjoyed a successful 12 year professional playing career until injury forced his hand to retire from the game on a full time basis. 

Scott still has an active role in the game, offering a helping hand to childhood club Nuneaton RFC when his busy lifestyle around work, motor racing and family commitments allow him to do so.

Scott has always had a passion for motorsport and was first introduced to racing as an 8 year old competing in the MSA Cadet championship in 1998 alongside Paddock Motorsport team-owner, Martin Plowman. 1998 turned out to be Scott's only season of racing to date, but the two remained life-long friends. Now 32 and retired from professional rugby, Scott has returned to racing competing in the ultra-competitive BRSCC MX5 SuperCup championship.

2021 marked Scott's first full season in the MX5 SuperCup and he produced some standout drives at the Brands Hatch and Donington rounds where he claimed his very first Club class podium.

Scott hopes to continue his steep learning curve with the help and guidance of Paddock Motorsport and bring home more silverware in 2022.
