He started his racing career in the Formula Ford British championship in 1981. In 1983, he moved to the Lola Formula Ford works team. Gilbert Scott instantly succeeded and won the RAC and Townsend Thoresen Championships.

In 1987, he competed in some races in the FIA International Formula 3000 championship, and Andrew also entered sports car racing series such as the World Sportscar Championship and the All Japan Sports Prototype Championship.
