During the Bathurst 12 Hour weekend we caught up with Andrew Kirkaldy who you may know from his career at CR Scuderia, Scuderia Ecosse and most recently, leading the team to develop the McLaren MP4/12C with CRS Racing.

Kirkaldy has a long and distinguished career having taken out the prestigious McLaren Autosport BDRC Award in 1997 after a great year in the Formula Vauxhall Championship. He is best known for his GT racing, taking the British Championship in 2005 for Scuderia Ecosse.  He also finished third in the GT2 class of the 2006 24 Hours of Le Mans.

His team then went onto develop the McLaren GT3 machine, stepping away from racing.  In this interview we talk Bathurst, his career, the McLaren and the future.

He went onto finish fourth at Bathurst with Klark Quinn, Tony Quinn and Shane Van Gisbergen.
