Samantha has been obsessed with cars and combustion engines since she was a girl (well, tomboy), and has spent her career elbows-deep in the automotive and motorsport industries. Starting out at Wheels, Motor and Carsguide back in the 2000s when print was king, she loves a good feature yarn and will drive and test anything with four wheels, from performance cars to rigs that go offroad and tow - and everything in between. An automotive awards judge and ambassador, rally driver and navigator, formula car category manager and self-confessed motorsport tragic, she spends her weekends exploring off-road, camping off-grid, or running amok at a rally or race track.
