The rick gorne management consultancy is proud of its successful relationships with some great people, teams and drivers...

Damon Hill
F1 World Champion 1996

“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.”

Dr Adrian Reynard
Reynard Racing Cars, BAR Formula 1

“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.”

Willi Weber
Manager of Michael Schumacher’s career

“Rick is a man who can always make a deal.”

Eddie Jordan
Founder of Jordan Grand Prix

“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.”

Gil de Ferran
CART Champion 2000, 2001 and Indy 500 winner 2003

“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.”

Chip Ganassi

“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.”

Bobby Rahal

“Incredible guy, incredible connections, an asset to any programme.”

Jacques Villeneuve
CART Champ '95, Indy 500 Winner '95, F1 World Champ '97

“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.”

Alex Zanardi
CART Champion 1997 and 1998

“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.”

Tim Cindric
