My name is Rohan Skea and I love motor racing. I have been a professional race car driver and founded a racing team, racing is in my blood.
The Skea Racing Team I founded had factories in Cambridge, Charlotte and was headquartered in Perth (Australia). It was also the first Australian team to be invited to compete at the American Le Mans series, somthing to this day I am still very proud of.

About Rohan Skea
Whilst having spent some time in business doing mergers & acquisitions, Government privatisation projects, wine making and television production my real passion lies in sport, especially motor racing.
The sporting achievements I am most proud of include the following:
Former state and national swimming champion

Former State and National Surf Life Saving champion.
Former professional race driver
Founder and owner of Skea Racing International, headquartered in Perth and with race factories based in Cambridge ( UK) and Charlotte ( North Carolina)
First Australian motorsport team to compete in an entire international professional motorsport series - American Le Mans Series (competes in USA, Canada, Germany, UK, France, Belgium)

I believe participation in sports is so important from a young age, keeping young bodies healthy through to middle and even old age. I recently noticed an 88 year old running the City to Surf in Sydney. I hope I can participate in events like that at 88 years old, or even open water swims. As tehy say healthy body, healthy mind.
