"I’ve trained with Rich for a number of years and he’s been a very important part of my success is on track. He’s coached me during preseason training camps, supported me during race weekends and been part of my season training sessions. I really like how he pushes me to new limits every session, but we still have a laugh and he has a great knowledge of recovery, nutrition and physiotherapy, as well as regularly branching out of the gym to other sports, including Padel and rockclimbing."

As a professional athlete who is constantly on the move, I struggled a lot with both small niggles and fatigue. I met Richard 18 months ago and continue to see him as and when I can for treatment. He takes great pride in what he does and in understanding and working through the various issues I may have. Definitely my go to person when it comes to maintaining my body health and well being.

Richard Stirling joined the team for our first season in the World Endurance Championship with the Aston Martin Valkyrie. Richard brought with him valuable experience and proved to be a great resource supporting both drivers and the wider team in his function as our team physio and trainer. All the time ensuring nutritional and hydration needs were met. One of his objectives outside of the race events was to create a gym within the factory for the team to use when not at the track, he designed, spec’d and set up the area which has proved to be a great asset to the team. Richard also helped instil a solid worth ethic for the team to maximise its use, this was also aided by running periodic training sessions at the factory.

I've had the pleasure of working with Richard for the last few years. In this time I've progressed up the single seater categories from Karting and have always been physically prepared for each challenge under his guidance. He has an in-depth knowledge of both the physical and mental demands of racing, fuelled by an unrivalled passion for motorsport.

Richard has supported me at races throughout my career since we met in 2016 and he always helps me perform at my best. Always getting the most out of me and motivating me to go for more. We also regularly train back home between races to make sure I am the best prepared possible.
2023 - Salih Yoluc - LMP2 Pro/Am European + Asian Champion
I have never met someone as dedicated and conscientious as Rich. Very motivated and dedicated to the sport. An absolute pleasure to work with and a true asset to have his support at any race weekend.
2022 - Euan Hankey - British GT Champion
Richard was a key member to our team. As head of our medical department he played a crucial role in helping Bromley FC make history with last years success as we reached the playoffs for the first time in the clubs history. Personally I see Richard as a hardworking professional, reliable, honest and enthusiastic character. He has a willingness to adapt and solve situations and was very methodical in his day to day work.
2021 Alan Dunne - Bromley FC Assistant Manager
Always a pleasure seeing Rich around the paddock. I have worked with Rich multiple times over the years with TFSport and Oman Racing Team, resulting in wins at both Le Mans and Spa 24hrs. The man to have your back during a 24hr race event and keep you at your best. Rich made sure I stayed on top of my hydration when I needed it most and quite literally had my back on the treatment table after a long stint in the car. Always positive and motivating others.

Rich is a valuable asset in racing the racing world. He ensures that athletes are fully supported to perform at their best during events, attending to both their physical and mental needs. Beyond race weekends, he plays a key role in training and conditioning, helping drivers stay physically prepared and mentally focused between events.
2019 - Mia Sharizman - Renault F1 Academy Manager
Working with Rich Stirling during my preparation for the 2018 FIA Formula 3 season was a game-changer. His training got me physically and mentally ready to compete at the highest level, and it made a massive difference — I was able to win races straight away in my rookie season. What sets Rich apart is not just his drive and passion, but his incredible knowledge of the human body and physiology. He took the time to truly understand how my body worked and tailored every aspect of my training to make sure I could perform at my absolute best. Rich pushed me to my limits every day, and his energy and commitment to his clients is unmatched. No trainer I’ve worked with even comes close. He genuinely cares and gives everything to help you succeed.
2018 Enaam Ahmed - British F3 + Karting World Champion
Every time we work together, Rich enables me to push my limits to the next level. It has been a pleasure to have his support. Our attitudes to succeed are equally as high and for me, that is what makes the difference. It is a privilege to work with such a professional guy.
2017 Pietro Fittipaldi - World Series Formula V8 3.5 Champion
It's great to have someone looking after the team as well as the drivers. We have been fortunate to have Rich throughout the season but we have especially benefitted at the long 24hr events and when the season finale was coming down to the wire. He gets on well with everyone which helps integrate his service into the team and is always happy to help with anything.
