Porsche Carrera GT3
James’s racing career started in karts when he was 8 years old. He won his first championship at age 9, became British Champion at age 12, and continued to win championships breaking lap records that still hold today. The highlight of his karting career was winning the WKA Manufacturers Cup at the famous Daytona International Speedway in Florida, USA.
He made the move into car racing when he was 14 and in his first year won the Ginetta Junior Rookie Championship and the Winter Series Championship with a record breaking win of over 28 seconds. He went on to win the Protyre Motorsport Ginetta GT5 Challenge Championship in both 2015 and 2018, and was also awarded the BRDC Rising Star status in 2015.
In 2016, due to insufficient funding for racing, he qualified as an ARDS instructor and spent the next 2 years concentrating on instructing. At the end of 2021 he had the opportunity to race in the last 2 rounds of the Ginetta GT4 SuperCup Championship, winning 3 of the 5 races he finished, with 5 fastest laps.
Q. What is your ultimate goal in racing?
A. It’s obviously to become a factory works driver for a big manufacturer racing round the world. But it is very much to make a career out of racing a car. I’m doing something I love so for me I just want to keep that going for as long as I can.
