Danny Skinner

Danny Skinner's love of motorsports drove him to a career as a mechanic building supercars for F1 powerhouse McLaren in Woking. Danny soon moved to join their Pure programme supporting McLaren customers and fine tuning their cars for track days, or to race for the McLaren Cup - the McLaren GT4 Championship. The championship gave Danny the chance to travel around the world but the Covid-19 pandemic put a halt to his employment and he found a new role working in an electric scooter workshop.

Fellow eSC rider Jordan Rand got in touch about acquiring a scooter and that alerted Danny to eSC. In preparation for the first season, the 35-year-old lost 25kg to give himself a competitive advantage. While he has driven karts for recreation, Skinner had never had the opportunity take up professional motorsport prior to entering eSC.

After a successful first eSC season, he has continued working at McLaren and spending time with his two daughters and is now excited to get back on the S1-X for his second season.
