Seán Ward

Seán is a freelance automotive writer who made a start in the industry by creating the website New Motoring as a 17-year-old back in 2010. Growing the website and working with more and more car manufacturers, Seán stuck his face on YouTube in 2016 and continued driving everything he possibly could.

In 2019 Seán said a fond farewell to New Motoring and joined the team at Goodwood Road and Racing, eventually taking on the role of Road Test Editor. Seán became one of the faces of Goodwood’s YouTube channel, presenting car reviews and other videos to its global, car-obsessed audience, and commentated at the Festival of Speed. 

At the end of 2022 Seán made the switch to PR, joining the brilliant team at Performance Communications, working on both UK and global accounts, before returning to the world of journalism at the end of 2025. 

As well as regular words for DieselCar and EcoCar Magazine, Seán has worked with Motoring Research and Car Gurus, plus Goodwood Road and Racing once again. 

A steady hand at the wheel of anything, whether it’s a Kia or a Koenigsegg, Seán also drives for photo and video shoots. His goal is always to look neutral on camera, but his concentrating face makes him look as though he hates the world. He doesn’t, honest.
