Bromsgrove's fastest resident
Meet Jake Hughes, who can be regularly found legitimately breaking the speed limit, as a professional racing driver for Formula E's Maserati MSG Racing.
The recent arrival to Worcestershire says he can often be found playing golf locally, or supporting his beloved Aston Villa, when not behind the wheel going 100+mph.
Jake Hughes has been in motor racing for over a decade, in a career that began in karting, before moving to single-seaters, including spells with Mercedes and Aston Martin F1 teams as a simulation driver.
He tells Kath Stanczyszyn about life in the driver's seat of a 20,000rpm electric engine, and how he always relishes coming back home to the West Midlands.
