Yousuf Ashraf

Yousuf is a budding motoring writer and presenter that looks after video content at Auto Express. He cut his teeth presenting performance car reviews for his YouTube channel, Ashraf on Cars, and his work has since been published in titles such as Autocar, Evo, Hagerty and The Intercooler. Being a former karting Welsh Champion, Yousuf has a hankering for going fast, and gets his fix on the track in a fragile, oversteer-prone Mazda RX-8. On the road, he burbles around in a 1972 Alfa Giulia Super that he restored himself, and few cars hit the spot for Yousuf like his Alfa - when it’s working, that is.
