“Rick Gorne has been in the mainstream and sharp end of motorsport for as long as I can remember. Some people come and go in this industry, but the ones who endure have a quality that is instantly recognised by those others who live and work in motor racing. It is a small community. What goes around comes around, very quickly! Rick Gorne is one of the few who understands the complex and fascinating world we have all been so fortunate to have made our careers.”
“I first met Rick on the race track as a Reynard driver. He was fast, but I soon realised his infectious enthusiasm for business and selling so talked him into partnering me. During the next two decades, we created together the largest race car company in the world and I couldn't have done it without him. If Rick believes in something he throws all his energy into supporting and promoting the cause. We have been working together since 1982 and he still inspires and motivates me today through our ongoing business dealings. Rick is unique and very special.”
“Rick is a man who can always make a deal.”
“Rick and I have been friends since we raced together in the 70’s. We have had great commercial success together. He is one of the best closers of deals in the business and above all I trust him.”
“Rick has been involved in every level of my career since 1988 without Rick’s advice and guidance I would not have achieve what I have in motorsport. I owe a lot to him.”
“The guy puts a 100% into every project or deal he is working on. I always enjoy working with Rick. You work hard but you have got to enjoy what you do, Rick does.”
“Incredible guy, incredible connections, an asset to any programme.”
“Rick, I have known since we were racing in North America. He is a fighter and hard worker, his personality and positive attitude is infectious, as a friend and mentor his advice is invaluable.”
“I have always been impressed by Rick’s enthusiasm and competitiveness. He is a friend who always believed in me and without him I would never have come to America and won two CART titles.”
“Rick's knowledge and reputation within US motorsport, specifically in bringing talented drivers to North America, is second to none. Having worked with him on various IndyCar and NASCAR programs, you always know where you stand with Rick's professional approach.”
“The guy is one of my hero’s in motorsport. I always enjoy working with Rick.”
