Expert Witness & Legal Consultancy

Andrew has been called upon to act in a number of civil cases as an expert witness on both television and sponsorship matters including for the Motor Sport Association. He has been "on the stand" at London's High Court and is well versed in the etiquette and methodology of the judicial system and working closely with the legal profession.

Economy Driving

In 2012 Andrew teamed up with his old driver and rally partner Andy Dawson to compete in Britain's only fuel economy event, the two day MPG Marathon at the request of the Ford Motor Company. By utilising the old rally skills of careful preparation of the vehicle, understanding the regulations and the route, major success has been achieved including overall best MPG with a Fiesta diesel in 2012 and overall best % improvement with a Ford Mustang in 2016. In 2017 we completed the hat trick winning the best petrol MPG with a record breaking 97mpg in the new Fiesta.

In 2011 we won our class in an Escort and gained valuable experience. In 2012 we took a 3-cyl Ford Fiesta diesel to a record shattering 108 miles per gallon to become the first crew to break the 100 mpg barrier. We received our award from the then Minister of Transport Norman Baker. For marketing reasons we used a Ford Transit van in 2013 and obtained the best fuel consumption by a full sized van.

In 2014 Ford asked us to train two of Britain's top Formula Ford racers Harrison Scott and Louise Richardson to compete in the event with a Fiesta while we drove a high performance Focus ST.

In the category for best improvement over manufacturers' figures Harrison and Louise won outright and we finished third. We had taught them too well!

In 2015 we had a new challenge and used a Mondeo hybrid to record best MPG by a full sized saloon. In 2016 we recorded the best ever % improvement in the history of the event in a Ford Mustang V8. In 2017 as well as winning the petrol MPG prize, we team managed a sister Fiesta to diesel and overall MPG victory at 122 mpg.

In 2018, in the driving seat this time, Andrew won outright the historic Layer Marney fuel economy trial in a BMW X3.

Outside the UK we are available to compete for other manufacturers, driver training and event planning.

Motoring Art Festivals

Pit Lane Productions has run temporary motoring art exhibitions for almost 30 years and for the past ten years the prestigious Art of Motoring for the Royal Automobile Club. Over the years we have also organised exhibitions at Silverstone, Goodwood, Donington and Shelsley Walsh and Bicester Heritage.

The annual October Art of Motoring show is considered to be the leading European exhibition for this genre. In the past it has been staged in the RAC’s Pall Mall Club House, most recently it has been presented at Sothebys and in 2023 and the foreseeable future at the popular Icon Images Gallery in Wellington Place, a stone‘s throw from the Club. The exhibition is one of the key events of London Motor Week. Amongst the regular visitors is Rowan Atkinson.

Upwards of thirty mainly British artists regularly show including top names such as Dexter Brown, Michael Turner, Tim Layzell and John Ketchell. However former Ferrari F1 driver and Le Mans 24 winner Stefan Johansson exhibits every year.

Pit Lane is in a position to mount temporary exhibitions in corporate headquarters, marquees or public buildings. Pit Lane works closely on the exhibitions with Rupert Whyte of Historic Car Art.
