Legacy matters--but so does personality
Clients aren't just looking for speed records. The most requested drivers in 2025 are those with strong reputations, media presence, and a proven ability to engage in high-end settings. Articulate, charismatic, and discreet drivers tend to top the list.
Retired icons are in high demand
Many clients prefer legendary drivers with enduring fame over current competitors. These individuals are often more available, polished in speaking formats, and experienced in luxury appearances--making them ideal for black-tie galas, summits, or brand partnerships.
Crossover appeal shapes demand
Drivers with experience in fashion, wellness, or media are increasingly popular. Whether they appear in brand campaigns, speak on performance psychology, or support philanthropic ventures, their ability to connect beyond motorsport adds value.
Discretion is a deciding factor
Private clients prioritise those who are gracious, low-key, and familiar with non-public formats. These drivers are booked not just for who they are--but how well they handle the setting.
