Description

Robb Holland, a former pro cyclist who became the revelation of the SPEED World Challenge in the early 2000s. In 2012 Robb rebounded from the late demise of the Volvo factory C30 Touring Car program by becoming the first American in almost 40 years to race in the British Touring Car Championships (BTCC).

When he isn’t racing, he spends his time at tracks around the world, working as a personal driving instructor as well as for groups like Lamborghini, Audi Club of America, and 3Zero3 Motorsports. Robb is the managing partner of ROTEK RACING which is based at the legendary Nürburgring.

Robb is also known for his “Grocery Getter” series on Jalopnik, technical writing in Grassroots Motorsports, and race reporting on SPEEDtv.com. Currently you can find him racing SRO World Challenge powered by AWS in the GT America series driving the Ford Mustang GT4, as the only American car in the paddock.
