About James Hunt

James has been surrounded by cars since birth as his father and brother both raced. He is no stranger to competition at the highest levels and understands the preparation needed to win championships. His racing career began at the age of 14, with Downhill Mountain Bikes, which yielded two National Championships in the National Off Road Biking Association. The move to cars came at 16, which marked the beginning of James's intense driver training. This training quickly grew into what is today, competitive racing, instructing and coaching. As James continues to grow his racing career he also works to evolve his company James Hunt Racing, LLC and the talent of his students.
