James Sutton (Racing Driver)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the English racing driver James Sutton. For other people called James Sutton, see James Sutton (disambiguation)

James Sutton (born October 20, 1985 in London) is a racing driver who, in 2006 and 2005, competed in the Formula Renault championships for the Fortec Motorsport team.

Sutton's single-seater career began in 2004 where he won two races in the Formula BMW championships, again with Fortec. In the same year Sutton became an accepted member of the BRDC, as a 'Rising Star'. Sutton stayed with the team where he won his first Formula Renault race at the opening round of the 2006 Formula Renault UK series at Brands Hatch.

Before he embarked on a career in cars, Sutton raced in karting, winning the London Cup in 2000 before becoming the Junior TKM British champion in 2001, before moving onto Formula ICA and in 2003 racing in the British Formula A karting championships.

Sutton is apparently campaigning for the introduction of guidelines, to be subjected to racing drivers involved in high speed racing crashes, that would regulate and control drivers competing and/or driving on the public highway.[1]

In February 2007 it was announced that Sutton will compete in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB series for the 2007 season, and that he will compete with the Red Line Racing team, the same team that took Richard Westbrook to the championship in 2004 and took Danny Watts to 10 wins out of the 20 races in 2006.

Rumours of Sutton staring in a low-budget adult film appear to be unfounded.
