What Athletes Say About Rich
Richard Stirling joined the team for our first season in the World Endurance Championship with the Aston Martin Valkyrie. Richard brought with him valuable experience and proved to be a great resource supporting both drivers and the wider team in his function as our team physio and trainer. All the time ensuring nutritional and hydration needs were met. One of his objectives outside of the race events was to create a gym within the factory for the team to use when not at the track, he designed, spec’d and set up the area which has proved to be a great asset to the team. Richard also helped instil a solid worth ethic for the team to maximise its use, this was also aided by running periodic training sessions at the factory.
Carol Melville - Multimatic Motorsports Europe 2025

Rich is a valuable asset in racing the racing world. He ensures that athletes are fully supported to perform at their best during events, attending to both their physical and mental needs. Beyond race weekends, he plays a key role in training and conditioning, helping drivers stay physically prepared and mentally focused between events.
Mia Sharizman - Renault F1 Academy Manager 2019
‘It's great to have someone looking after the team as well as the drivers. We have been fortunate to have Rich throughout the season but we have especially benefitted at the long 24hr events and when the season finale was coming down to the wire. He gets on well with everyone which helps integrate his service into the team and is always happy to help with anything.‘
Tom Ferrier - Race Team Manager TF Sport 2016
‘I’ve trained with Rich for a number of years and he’s been a very important part of my success is on track. He’s coached me during preseason training camps, supported me during race weekends and been part of my season training sessions. I really like how he pushes me to new limits every session, but we still have a laugh and he has a great knowledge of recovery, nutrition and physiotherapy, as well as regularly branching out of the gym to other sports, including Padel and rockclimbing. Cheers Rich‘‘
Harry Tincknell - Formula E WEC and Formula EIMSA 2017
‘I've had the pleasure of working with Richard for the last few years. In this time I've progressed up the single seater categroies from Karting and have always been physically prepared for each challenge under his guidance. He has an in-depth knowledge of both the physical and mental demands of racing, fuelled by an unrivalled passion for motorsport’
Raoul Hyman - Superformula 2023
