Sam Shrimpton
Marketing Director & Racing Driver
In December 2024, Ginetta and Palmersport ran an international talent scouting programme to find raw, undiscovered driving ability.
Sam beat 37 drivers from around the world in the shootout final to win a race scholarship, having never competed in motorsport before. In his debut 2025 season, he won the GT Academy Rookie Class Championship, often matching the pace of far more experienced competitors with less than half their track time.
What makes Sam different is what he brings outside the car. Sam owns Teylu, a full-service marketing agency whose team has delivered campaigns for Levi's, Red Bull, GoPro, and Audi.
His background spans journalism for Top Gear Magazine, Evo, and Red Bull Media House. Partners get someone who understands commercial outcomes: trackable ROI, professional content production, and activation strategies that go far beyond a logo on a car.
