Research notes and caveats

尼尔·霍尔迪(英国)大学前曾在Light Car Company参与制造"Rocket"跑车,由此立志投身赛车,后入拉夫堡大学攻读汽车工程,2000年毕业。先在Lola赛车公司从设计工程师升至项目负责人,2006年加入迈凯伦任设计工程师,逐级晋升:前悬架与车手操控负责人(2008)→设计项目负责人→副设计主管(并主持概念小组)→2022年任赛车概念与性能开发总监(整合空气动力、设计、整车性能团队)→2023年3月加入斯特拉技术执行团队任副技术总监→2024年晋升技术总监(工程)。需注意:迈凯伦官网2026年最新简历已将其头衔细化为"技术总监—应用工程"(分管可靠性、研究与技术团队及赛道技术事务),本条按用户给定及Wikipedia的"技术总监(工程)"保留并在此说明。早期各职级的精确起止年份公开来源未逐一披露,部分年份为依据官方叙述顺序的推断(以~标注)。负责工程体系，不是单车赛道岗位。
