Richard Dean, Team Owner and Managing Director, United Autosports:
“I have been wanting to develop a role within United Autosports that brings together all our expert engineers to strengthen the systems we currently have in place. The Technical Director role is a new one for our company, but as we continue to grow, we need to examine in detail all our racing activities with the view of implementing various improvements, systems and controls. Our ambition is to keep on winning and improving as a team and I believe having someone of Dave’s calibre will do just that.”
