The DSC Team

Graham ‘GG’ Goodwin: Editor in Chief & Partner

After following Formula One for many years, Graham saw the light in 1995 when his son persuaded him to visit Le Mans for the first time, an experience he would describe later as “biblical,” although that may have been a reference to the rainfall that year!

He discovered the delights of internet reporting on the sport soon after. With the untimely retirement of DSC’s founding editor, Graham stepped up to the tiller and now combines the editorship with TV commentary duties on WEC TV, ELMS and Asian LMS as well as being a regular part of the Le Mans TV presentation team.

He is a co-presenter of the unacceptably entertaining #TWISC – The Week In Sportscars podcast together with his US-based buddy Marshall Pruett.

Hugely happily married to Trudie, Graham has a sportscar-mad son and an increasingly petrolheaded daughter (much to Mum’s despair!) plus a deaf cat and Oscar the DSC Husky (he’s a VERY good boy!). His current Surrey eyrie belies his Northern roots as, apparently, does his broad cockney accent*.

Graham holds the record for the most nicknames in current usage (or rather abusage) in the DSC team, GG, Beer Tricks, Mainwaring, Cockney, Gooders and many, many more.

As of January 2026, GG is DSC’s editor in chief. While he will still be writing occasionally, he is primarily responsible for commercial duties as well as the new-for-2026 DSC Academy programme.

*Only in the fevered imaginations of DSC’s resident Brummie Mafiosi Lordy and Doris.

David ‘Lordy’ Lord: Photography Editor & Partner

Together with seemingly everyone else of note in British motorsport, ‘His Lordship’ hails from Hinckley, Leicestershire. A full-time motorsport photographer, he’s provided some of the most evocative images of British and international racing in recent years.

A staunch supporter of the British GT Championship, Dave was bitten by the Le Mans bug in 2001. The monsoon conditions throughout the night never managed to wipe the wide grin from the plucky Midlander’s face!

Dave came aboard as a co-owner of DSC in 2002 and now sits as Photography Editor, co-ordinating the efforts of our excellent team of snappers around the world.

He’s travelled the world with DSC, helped immeasurably in his efforts by an ability to sleep anywhere for as long as he likes. Dave regularly falls asleep as a transcontinental flight is taxiing to the runway and only wakes up as the engines are switched off at the destination!

A confirmed bachelor, Dave has a kitchen with a range of high-end utensils that have never seen action. He is though on first-name terms with a bewildering range of takeaways…

Stephen Kilbey: Editor

stephen.kilbey@dailysportscar.com

Stephen has been with the DSC team since 2012 after being spotted by former DSC reporter Paul Slinger writing about the Le Mans 24 Hours as a keen teenager.

Initially, he worked as a freelance reporter during the latter years of high school and through university. After obtaining a first-class honours degree in sports journalism, he stepped up to a full-time role in 2016, serving as deputy editor and news editor across two stints with the site, before being named editor in January 2026.

Alongside his work with DSC, he is also the FIA WEC Correspondent for RACER.com, as part of a content-provision agreement with DSC, and regularly contributes to the Marshall Pruett Podcast and RACER Magazine.

RJ O’Connell: Reporter

RJ fell in love with motorsport and car culture through video games. A childhood spent playing Gran Turismo led him to fall in love with the cars of the All-Japan GT Championship, now known as SUPER GT.

A creatively inclined person with a background in theatre and voice-overs, RJ picked up writing as a hobby and, seeing a lack of the sort of in-depth coverage and analysis of SUPER GT that existed for other series at the time, started writing about it on the blog Super GT World in 2016.

This then caught the attention of DSC, who brought RJ on board for the 2017 season, where he specialises in coverage of SUPER GT and Super Taikyu. Based in the United States, RJ has also been an in-field reporter for North American sports car racing series, mainly the IMSA Sportscar Championship and SRO GT World Challenge America. He also covers all things IMSA for RACER.com.

Away from the racing sphere, RJ advocates for the acceptance and empowerment of neurodivergent people like himself; he is also proudly a part of the LGBTQIA+ community and advocates for the well-being of his fellow siblings in the community.

Peter ‘Pedro’ May: Photographer
Twitter: @pedrodsc

Pedro has been with DSC since late 2004. He first watched a motor race at Brands Hatch in 1996 (the Formula 3 Spring Trophy), but since then has developed taste!

He’s renowned for quality photography, finding the quickest route between any two points, boundless energy, matchless workload, team spirit, resilience and by no means least, an ability to maintain all this whilst surviving under canvas.

Kent man Pedro can usually be found pedalling his beloved Lotus Elise between two different tracks, often not in the same country, usually very quickly, a skill gained whilst on courier duty for his day job: official pie taster to the Kentish public!

Most extraordinary feats in DSC service? Covering Spa and Le Mans in a single day and managing to duck when Allan McNish threw his Audi R18 at him in 2011.

Something else to be remembered about Pedro: he’s not short, he just has a very low centre of gravity for more stable photography!

Ewan Wane: DSC Academy member
Twitter: @EwanAWane

Ewan quickly became a regular contributor to the website after attracting the attention of the DSC’s editor-in-chief, Graham Goodwin, back in 2024.

His immense passion for sportscar racing and talent as a writer saw him taken on full-time after finishing his university career and named as a member of DSC’s new Academy programme in 2026. He covers SRO racing in Europe for the website.

Natalie Johnston: DSC Academy member

Natalie, a native of Toronto, is in the midst of a master’s degree in sports journalism. She has been mixing her studies with race reporting for a variety of outlets at the advice of DSC’s editor-in-chief since 2025.

Her application in doing so, was enough to earn her a coveted place in the new-for-2026 DSC Academy, where she will be a trainee around her studies for the next two years.

Mo Rehman: DSC Academy member

Mo joined DSC in 2025 as its British GT Championship correspondent and will remain on board as part of the DSC Academy, in a career development role whilst covering a range of racing in 2026.

Jochen ‘Frozenspeed’ Van Cauwenberge: Photographer
Email: frozenspeed@gmail.com

Known professionally and globally as ‘Frozenspeed’, Jochen brings DSC images from the world of NLS and N24, plus selected over events in Europe.

Jack Webster: Photographer
Email: racingpilot@mac.com

Hugely experienced photographer Jack Webster has been providing DSC with images at major IMSA meetings since 2023.

Paul Foster: Photographer
Email: p.fozz@me.com

Paul joined DSC in 2024 as its regular British GT Championship photographer. Since then, he has added photo credits for a number of international race meetings, including the Le Mans Classic.

David ‘Doris’ Downes: Photographer

Doris filled part of the massive void left by Founding Editor Malcolm Cracknell’s departure from the regular DSC team. Which parts? The chain-smoking and curmudgeonly parts, of course! Well, that was before he gave up cigarettes, as much of a shock to everyone else as it was to his lungs.

Aside from that, he does look just a little like Malcolm and could often be seen in the weeks following the latter’s retirement in confused conversation with paddock people who thought that Crackers had developed a Brummie accent!

Doris is as much an artist as an artisan;  his day job as one of the country’s foremost fast-food drive-in builders has added immeasurably to the UK’s skyline, and his cultured eye creates Constables from Corvettes, Turners from Toyotas and Gaudis from Audis.

He’s renowned for his love of many things: women, cats, children and Audi Q7s, can you guess which two make the cut?

Andrew ‘Skippy’ Hall: Photographer

The man with the least imaginative nickname on DSC, Skippy hails from Sydney and lends his not-inconsiderable photographic genius to our WEC coverage, where he forms one corner of the much-feared ‘Four Musketeers’ with Messrs Lord, Downes and Lefebure.

Regis Lefebure: Photographer

The little orange legend! Regis’s world-class images have graced DSC’s pages since the very beginning, and if anything, his cultured eye just gets better with age – like a fine wine, a classic car, or a vertically challenged American.

Whilst his art is legendary for the best of reasons, his self-organisation matches it for possibly the best example of chaos theory in human form.

Many have witnessed the inevitable search for a race pass in every pocket of every bag, and in every pocket of every piece of clothing too, often multiple times, before finally realising that he is actually watching the TV at home with his lovely wife.

Martin Little: Reporter

DVD stands for Dick van Dyke, proof positive that Lordy and Doris haven’t got a grip of UK geography.

An Essex boy, Martin now resides perilously close to Doris’s Worcester home.

His passion is music, a bass player of some renown, he often played to packed stadia (pubs) before his recent retirement to a gentler life covering the British GT Championship and a regular and highly enthusiastic member of DSC’s regular Le Mans 24 Hours ‘crew.

Mat ‘Rene’ Fernandez: Reporter
@MatLemans

One of our latest recruits, Mat, despite a name that suggests a previous career as a Mexican bandit, was actually born at Tertre Rouge (not during the race we hasten to add).

He now provides regular updates from the wide, wide world of French language sportscar racing, with the aid and assistance of his good lady.

We’ll be seeing much, much more of Mat’s moniker on DSC in the future.

Michael Zalavari: Reporter

Yes, we know, it’s another Aussie – Michael joined DSC’s efforts in Australia some years ago and now has several campaign medals for services rendered at the Bathurst 12 Hours as well as keeping us updated on all things Australian on the GT front, with some additional efforts to bring insight into Australia’s ‘Great Race’ The Bathurst 1000 too.

After spending much of the early summer of 2024 in Europe, encompassing the three big 24 Hour races at the Nurburgring, Le Mans and Spa, Michael will be taking the rest of 2024 and the whole of 2025 off to recover.

Michael’s DSC nickname is a work in progress, but will inevitably include a reference to the elimination of his beloved Aussie Cricket team from the 2024 T20 World Cup at the hands of that other giant cricketing nation (checks notes), Afghanistan!

David Warnock: Partner

David’s involvement with DSC came about because of his desire to give something back to the sport and also to help in some small way with the indefatigable enthusiasm shown by the rest of the team.

He began racing in 1989 in a Porsche 911 SC and progressed to win the British Porsche Supercup title in 1991. He took the British GT2 title in 1996 in a Marcos and again in 1999 driving a Lister. In the same year, he took his own Porsche to Daytona and claimed GT2 class victory ahead of the factory Corvettes.

In 2001, he teamed up with Mike Jordan to win the Tourist Trophy and the British GT title. He’s raced all over the world and competed in six Le Mans, which he rates as unquestionably the best race on earth.

Malcolm ‘Crackers’ Cracknell: Founding Editor

Malcolm Cracknell blames Michael Cotton for his obsession with sportscar racing. If you couldn’t be there, MC would describe the action, hour by hour.

A career as a teacher and duties as a responsible husband simultaneously came to an end at the age of 40. Thus began a rollercoaster ride writing about his beloved endurance racing on the internet, which allowed as much space as necessary to do justice to any race.

The story of Sportscarworld’s demise is almost too painful to recall: its domain name was snatched away during Le Mans week in 2000, leaving the editor mentally wrecked after years of grindingly hard work.

A gentleman called Tim Blake, plus many of the site’s readers, came to the rescue and TotalMotorSport was born in January 2001. Cracknell’s involvement there came to an end in October 2001, but the persistence of a group that wouldn’t give up saw a new site born: Dailysportscar.com.

After a disastrous first year that saw an original partner let down the new enterprise both financially and technically, DSC bounced back and Malcolm led it tirelessly, setting the standard for internet sportscar journalism that others have since tried to follow.

Health issues forced his retirement from front-line duties in 2007, but as our Founding Editor, he’s still a steadying hand on the tiller, always ready with sage advice and absolutely always ready with an opinion, too!
