James's Bio

Important things you need to know.

Firstly, my photo is not me. It's a rusty old Dodge truck with at least two flat tyres. I am a person.

Secondly, I will up sticks for work/money/glory.

Basically if it goes fast and has an engine and wheels I like it. I follow F1, NASCAR, Indycar, Sportscars, Touring Cars, Rallying. Basically anything.

I'm a 23 year old witha Masters' Degree in English Language and with this knowledge I, of course, want to be a sports hack, although I'm fully aware I am probably destined for middle management, soup stained clip on tie and all.

I'm the writer of the weekly argument starter that is the All Motorsport Power Rankings, which also features on "Midweek Motorsport" on Radio Le Mans, and occasional visits to CBSsports.

I can also be found on twitter as "the_lap_times", and on my own blog linked through there, and write on The Checkered Flag website.
