Henry Catchpole

If there’s a twisting piece of road in a spectacular location, then you can be pretty sure Henry’s sideburns have either driven there or are plotting to do so. When he’s not halfway up the Atlas Mountains or in the depths of southern Brazil, lofty Catchpole (he’s 6ft 5in) also writes first drives, group tests and interviews. He has a particular soft spot for rally cars and anything lightweight – he once ran a long-term Caterham through winter with no roof. At weekends you’ll probably find him racing a bicycle.
