Richard Cowen
Porsche Festival @Sandown 2020
While new to racing, the MR crew has been working with Richard for over five years while running the two Cup Cars for the Porsche Sport Driving School, where he has been a regular customer.
Richard has extensive experience driving a wide range of cars on tracks all over the world. In 2021 he decided to take up racing here in Australia and 2023 will be his second full year racing in the Michelin Sprint Challenge championship.
Professionally Richard practices law in his own firm, Tucker & Cowen, practicing extensively in Commercial litigation and insolvency law, leading a large team in some of the most significant litigation in Queensland and throughout Australia.
When not working or racing he would prefer to be freediving, skiing or spearfishing. His wife would prefer he gave up most or all of the above pursuits (except ski-ing).
