Mike Gascoyne Biography

Mike Gascoyne is one of the most popular and richest Engineer who was born on April 2, 1963 in Norwich, United Kingdom. Silvi Belle 2 was the leader of the Class 40 fleet that passed Fastnet Rock on the 19th August at 00.41:07.

While at Tyrrell he worked for designer Harvey Postlethwaite, who came to hold Gascoyne in such regard that when Postlethwaite departed in 1991 to design the Sauber team’s first Formula One car, he took the twenty-eight-year-old engineer with him to Switzerland. Postlethwaite was only with Sauber for a short time, but Gascoyne continued to race in the first season of Formula One. His Sauber C13 chassis won 12 points in 1993.

In June 1998 Gascoyne joined Jordan Grand Prix as technical director and immediately set about designing their 1999 car. The season was the team’s most successful in its history, finishing third in the Constructors Championship and taking two race victories.

Shortly before the start of the 2001 season he moved to Benetton, whose results had been in serious decline since the mid-1990s. Gascoyne’s two- and-a-half seasons with Benetton, and later Renault, saw a marked improvement in the team’s fortunes, culminating in victory at the 2003 Hungarian Grand Prix. By now however, the highly rated technical director had already been placed on gardening leave by his French employers pending a move to Toyota F1 for an undisclosed financial settlement.

He joined McLaren in 1989 as a wind tunnel aerodynamicist. However, he only stayed with McLaren for one year before joining Tyrrell. At the time, Tyrrell was enjoying a revival with Jean Alesi behind the wheel of the 019 chassis.
