As a student, Reynard was keenly interested in motorsport, particularly in the production of record-breaking motorcycles. In 2004, Reynard has signed up to join the "Founders" of Virgin Galactic, an elite group of civilians who will be among the first people to ride into space for a price. Teaming up with the experienced mechanic Bill Stone, Reynard set up Sabre Automotive which later became Reynard Motorsport.
