Hailing from Ireland but now based in the United States, James has enjoyed success in every series he has competed in. 

One of Ireland’s top young drivers, James will run the full 2023 INDY NXT by Firestone season with Andretti Autosport as he advances his dream of racing in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge. 

Beyond INDY NXT by Firestone, James has competed in Ginetta Junior Ireland, FIA F4 UAE Championship, F2000 Championship Series, FIA Formula Regional Americas Championship, Indy Pro 2000 Championship, and Italian GT Championship in Lamborghini GT3.

When James isn’t racing, he enjoys water sports and “golfing very poorly.” He’s using his platform to raise awareness for asthma - as a Type 2 asthmatic himself - and support The Ireland Funds - a global philanthropic network promoting peace, equality, and opportunity across the island of Ireland and among Irish communities worldwide.
