ABOUT NICO PERRIN
Nico Perrin (Founder)
I have 25 years of experience at the top level of Motorsport. My career choices were made with 424 in mind. I wanted to become one of the best engineers in my industry capable of delivering such a complex project.
I was lucky to work for world class teams and to invest time in all aspects of Motorsport engineering and innovation, from concept design, aerodynamic / mechanical design and optimisation to race engineering.
I have a passion for innovation, sustainability and new technologies.
