Niki Faulkner - Racing Driver, Stunt Driver and Jeremy Clarkson's Stunt Double...?

Niki Faulkner - Racing Driver, Stunt Driver and Jeremy Clarkson's Stunt Double...?

Author: Paramex Digital April 17, 2023 Duration: 2:21:42

Niki Faulkner is a man known for many things. He's known as a racing driver, a precision driver, a film and television automotive advisor and even Jeremy Clarkson's stunt double. He's also the man that choreographed the Spice Girls singing live whilst standing on London taxis at the London Olympics and is a man that once caused a woman to faint purely by driving past her (true story!)


This week, on The Driven Chat Podcast, Niki Faulkner is our guest, joining John Marcar and Miles Lacey to chat through his frankly remarkable career so far. Niki now runs Driving Wizards, a company which supports television and movie productions with car chases, driving stunts and stunt choreography. Niki's work has allowed him to work with the likes of Tom Cruise, Michael Bay, Jeremy Clarkson, James May, Richard Hammond, Chris Hemsworth, Ron Howard and Ray Winston (to name just a few).


This week's podcast is a long one at more than 2 hours and 20 mins, but we're confident you'll enjoy every single minute of it. To learn more about Niki and Driving Wizards, follow @drivingwizards and check out drivingwizards.com

For a while, the drivenchat podcast served as the weekly audio companion to the Driven platform, wrapping up the automotive world into candid conversations. Each episode paired the insights of a special guest from across the industry with the distinct perspectives of its three hosts. Listeners heard automotive writer, producer, and presenter John Marcar alongside automotive and lifestyle photographer Amy Heynes, with analysis from a racing driver and vehicle dynamics expert. This combination meant discussions naturally flowed from technical deep-dives into engineering and performance to the broader culture and style surrounding cars, all grounded in genuine expertise. The podcast has since concluded its run, with new episodes continuing under the refreshed banner of The Driven Podcast. The existing library of drivenchat episodes remains a compelling archive, capturing specific moments and voices from the motoring scene through relaxed yet informed dialogue. It was a show where passion for cars was the starting point, not the entire destination, often veering into the personal stories and unexpected tangents that make the automotive community so diverse. Produced by Paramex Digital, the series sits within the leisure and automotive categories, offering a backstage pass to the people who design, drive, photograph, and obsess over vehicles of all kinds.
