Well, here's where...



James Auld


Championships Won
1994 Formula Vee Antim Trophy

Whether you prefer slipstreaming single-seater battles at Silverstone, top-speed night-time racing at the classic Nurburgring 24-hours in a sportscar, NASCAR-style American Oval track racing, forceful European saloon car races, long-distance GT racing in France and Spain, or the school of hard knocks on British stock car oval tracks, grasstrack racing, even fast & furious streetcar drag racing in Arizona and the favourite starting point of many racers, 100cc karting, James Auld has been in it all.

Two championship successes along with many wins are the result of a 19-year ongoing international racing career that began at the age of 16, involving hundreds of races in Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Ireland and the USA.
