Alex Ingram

Alex joined Auto Express as staff writer in early 2018, helping out with news, drives, features, and the occasional sports report. His car writing career kicked off at carwow in 2014, where he eventually became a script writer (and drag-race competitor) on its YouTube channel. Despite all this, he’s still probably a better driver in the virtual world: Alex has competed in national and international sim racing competitions, reaching the final stages of GT Academy in 2010 and winning a British Gran Turismo tournament in the same year.
