In this episode of The Driven Engineers Podcast by Matchtech, we speak with Ben Willshire, founder of Driven International. Ben shares the story of how his background in architecture and engineering led him to start his own company, designing motorsport and leisure facilities around the world.

We discuss some of Ben’s most interesting projects — from Yas Marina Circuit and Oro Station to Drivers Club Miami — and hear how his team approaches track design, safety, sustainability, and adapting to different environments and technologies. Ben also reflects on leadership, business challenges, and the lessons he’s learned along the way.

Whether you’re interested in motorsport, engineering, or design, this episode offers useful insights into what it takes to bring a circuit from idea to reality.
