Who We Are
Vehicle Dynamics Group is powered by its people, and the success of our events proves it.
Together our team has decades of accumulated experience, training and expertise, which enables us to build experiences that amplify and showcase the intended message.
Jud
President
Jud established Vehicle Dynamics Group in 2000, combining his motorsports experience and insights gained from a career in automotive marketing, including 12 years as the National Director of Marketing Communications for Yokohama Tire Canada. Under his direction, Yokohama achieved many marketing and communication accolades, including a Gold Bessie and a Mobius Award for advertising.
He has been a motorsports organizer and contributor at both the amateur and professional levels, as well as lead instructor with several advanced driving schools. Jud consistently demonstrates his in-depth knowledge of ideal roads in the proposed areas that will showcase the vehicle and its demonstratable features.
Jud was inducted into the 2024 Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame for his varied contribution to motorsports. His experience, partnered with his serious passion for all things automotive, led Vehicle Dynamics Group to what it is today – a top-tier Canadian experiential event management company.
David
Senior Project Manager
David has combined a passion for the auto industry, creative writing, business development, and event planning into a career. Over ten years, it has brought about many highlights including: launching a new automotive lifestyle Canadian magazine; being an award-winning journalist; as well as representing various reputable national newspapers and websites. He also developed and then directed AJAC’s (Automobile Journalists Association of Canada) EcoRun event for 5 consecutive years.
One of David’s many event-related strengths is his ability to understand the details needed to organize and manage an outstanding event, translating that into event outline charts describing client and facilitator timed tasks from pre-planning to the completion of the event. He always has a Plan B thought out as an alternative in the event that one is needed. David maintains the highest standard for drive routes, ensuring that the needs of the participants and client are first and foremost. He consistently recommends activities that add to the drive experience and enthusiastically engages with clients and participants.
Robin Lynn
Administrative Support Manager
Robin Lynn has fond childhood memories of being a spectator at stock car and drag races watching her father at the track. This early exposure, combined with growing up in a family of car enthusiasts, forged a future adult appreciation for driving “fun” cars, especially those with standard transmissions.
Robin Lynn’s years of experience as a facilitative educator has assisted her with understanding the various needs of participants, including different learning styles and dietary requests. Her attention to detail, particularly in areas such as logistics, travel, accommodation, and hospitality, assists in making the event run smoothly and efficiently.
Iain
Project Support Coordinator
From the day he obtained his driver’s license, Iain started developing his driving skills and perspective from both seats of the vehicle – as competitor and co-driver in activities such as autocross, time attack, lapping days, and Targa Newfoundland.
Iain’s understanding of all types of events grew from the ground up through his experience in automotive manufacturing, entertainment, and travel industries. With over 15 years of working as a VDG facilitator, Iain is able to demonstrate attention to detail as he organizes the fleet and coordinates the development of the drive routes in preparation for the event.
Joe
Creative Services Coordinator
A life-long amateur racer, Joe is a lead event facilitator, subject matter expert, and performance driving instructor with Vehicle Dynamics Group.
Combining his automotive insights with a career as an advertising creative, Joe designs and directs the production of program support materials and signage. He also coordinates photography and videography for traditional media and digital space.
Ross
Project Specialist
A facilitator with VDG from its inception, Ross is one of the lucky few who’ve been able to combine a lifelong passion with a career. He’s been behind the wheel on both sides of the track – literally – having held both senior sales and marketing positions with well-known automotive brands like Castrol and Permatex, and participating in an active and accomplished racing career in off road events and rallies.
Ross knows cars, and he knows people – which is why he’s been a cornerstone of VDG’s success over the last two decades.
Event Facilitators
For more than two decades, Vehicle Dynamics Group has brought together experienced professionals with a wealth of knowledge in marketing communications, project management, facilitative learning, creative services, performance driver training, motorsports consultancy, as well as traditional media and digital space. Several of our event facilitators are fully bilingual.
VDG’s team members are skilled professionals with in-depth experience in event production and are committed to the flawless execution of every detail.
