| MotorSport Experience | Staggeringly good looking, James is an international supermodel, much in demand for everything from glamour swimwear catalogues to Savile Row's finest. He juggles a relentlessly hectic life of private jets, partying across Europe's hottest nightspots, and a string of high profile girlfriends, with a deep commitment to grass-roots motorsport. From the age of just 4, when he beat his sister around the garden in a polypropylene Mothercare pedal car, it was clear that James needed to be a winner. Few on the grid match his consummate skill, and none his absolute need to compete. The preparation is meticulous, the attitude honed, and the desire visceral. One to watch, both on track and in the Paddock. | ||
| Racing aspirations | To be the sexiest driver on the grid, but also to win his class as often as possible | ||

| Sponsors | www.carpima.com | ||
| MotorSport Experience | I had some years of track days and Lotus sponsored regularity events which eventually resulted in joining the Lotus Cupe Europe. The first season (2009) was mostly a learning experience, both concerning how to handle the car in such an environment and also how to come up with a competive car. Overall (technical problems and a small accident in Spa notwithstanding) 2009 was a great year on track, Paul & Lotus Cars have established a wonderful race series! | ||
| Racing aspirations | I'll try to be as fast (and safe) as possible. LCE is a great way to enjoy life (and spend hard earned cash). I even found a company (partially my own) to sponsor some of the events and meanwhile my wife and family accept that I'll be away on some week-ends having fun on and off track so life is good for an ex-banker running between meetings and race tracks. | ||
