Built from a lifelong love of motorsport
Founded in 2020, shaped by three years running our own Newbury venue, and now focused on specialist simulator projects, technology and motorsport experiences.
Graeme Forrest
- Founded Forrest Motorsport in 2020
- 35 years in hospitality
- Raised three miles from Oulton Park, Cheshire
- New base in Newbury TBC
I grew up near Oulton Park, close enough to hear the superbikes and BTCC cars from our back garden. Forrest Motorsport brings that fascination with engineering together with 35 years in hospitality.
We started by building and improving simulators for private drivers and specialist projects, then opened our Newbury race room in 2022. Every system we recommend today is informed by having operated them ourselves.
