Joining Motorbase in 2009, Steve launched his motorsport career by taking part in the Porsche Carrera Cup. After a mixed campaign blighted by two nasty accidents, Parish is targeting a tilt at the Pro-am 2 title in 2011.

"I started Pro-am 2 really well last year but I had two big accidents at Brands Hatch and Oulton Park which didn't help and saw me miss four races. Hopefully I can stay in one piece this season and get some wins. I want to try and win the championship this season but it won't be easy. I led the series for a bit last year and I definitely want to be up there again. I think there will be a big grid and lots of competition in 2011 so we will see how it goes."
