Mark J Read

I was born in the UK and emigrated to Perth, Australia, in 2004. I have always been fascinated by cars and mechanical problems, as well as land speed record cars and drag racing. I started building cars at 15, and have been working with Rosco McGlashan for 16 years on Aussie Invader 5R, which has been built to smash the world land speed record and reach 1,600 km/h (1,000 mph).

Your support and feedback mean a lot. I read every review personally, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to connect with readers who share my passion for speed, engineering and innovation.
