James adds 4th British title to CV!
25th April 2005



20 year old single seater racing driver and rising star James Gornall from Werrington Peterborough, has added yet another British title to his ever increasing tally.



Racing with his teammates in the Oxford Brookes University Kart Team, James and his colleagues have just won the UK University British Karting title for the 2nd year running. Racing against 50 other teams from around the country, many of whom include other rising single seater stars of the future like James, they won 3 of the 6 rounds championship at kart circuit venues across the country to win the title.

A delighted James said, “ We won this championship for Oxford Brookes University last year for the first time, and were determined to retain the title, again, a first for any University to date. We did have a few dramas at the last round, which meant I couldn’t afford to make any errors in my race. I started 28th on the grid and won. A pleasing result! We are all very chuffed”

James, who has already been honoured by the University for his contribution to the Motorsport division, will be going to America in May, with the Formula Student team, to drive the Oxford Brookes single seater car in the World Championships. “ I am really looking forward to the event” said James “ it would be great if we could bring that title back for the UK as well. We’ll have to wait and see!”

When asked about progress for this year, James commented “ we are still trying to finalise budgets in order for me to enter the championship I want to race in and are hoping this can be achieved. There is lots going on at the moment, and I am very excited about my future involvement with Lloyds TSB Private Banking for whom I am now an Ambassador. I will be at the Goodwood festival of Speed in June and hope to be racing a car on the famous hill section. I’m also expecting The Real Shaving Company promotion to start shortly, and as I’m the face of the new product, you should see me up and down the high street nationally very soon!”
