Samarth Kanal

Staff writer

Samarth spent a couple of years honing his talents with Autosport's development scheme before becoming staff writer. He spends most of his weekends during the season watching NASCAR, so his patience for cars turning in one direction for hours on end is abundant. A degree in accounting was shunned for a (hopefully) lifelong career in motor sport.
