So, who is Chris McCarthy?

After a seizure at 17 ended his dreams of becoming a Formula 1 driver, he pivoted to a successful career as a national and international motor racing commentator remaining in the sport he loves. Chris aims to inspire young people with epilepsy to pursue their passions despite challenges.
