James is relatively new to karting, having started only at the end  of last year 2001. Nevertheless he has already been mixing with the top 3 drivers in the very competitive Junior class this year - showing that he has indeed the right stuff!

A Canadian by nationality, James is a quiet individual by nature and aspires to be a World Rally Championship driver one day. His reserved temperament will be put to good use when that day comes - look at the ice cool world class drivers in WRC. ( except a certain Scot whilst in attack mode....)

James likes soccer in his spare time, which is unusual for a North American. Perhaps this is a pastime he learnt in Malaysia! He has also a very frequently updated web site, so that keeps him busy too. Visit it!! ( link as above )

With his dad's experience in rally preparation, this lad will be on the starting grid of many future rallies to come! ...100 Hard Right!
