From a humble truckie’s mate to mechanic, race engineer and now an experienced team manager, Chris Mower has filled just about every position going on a race team in a career spanning over 30 years on both sides of the Atlantic in single-seaters and sportscar racing.
He followed in the footsteps of father Derek by working as a mechanic for Team Lotus in Formula 1 before the pair teamed up to run the Nordic Formula 3000 team that scooped the title in 2001. Today he is a senior motorsport programme manager at engineering giant Multimatic, assisting Sebastian Metz with overseeing the Porsche 963 LMDh project. It’s been a remarkable journey, but it’s one that Mower believes can be replicated by anyone with brains and the ethic to make use of it.
