James Dixon is one of the few people who have the envious title of 'professional racing driver' as his current occupation.
This year will see him take on the biggest challenge of his six year career to date, the step from karting into cars. It is the first step on a path which may one day, lead to the holy grail of motorsport, Formula One.
After six years in kart racing, mainly across the top circuits in Europe, James has taken the plunge into car racing with total commitment. He has a brand new training and fitness regime, testing and time with the team and car to allow him to get as up-to-speed as he can be, prior to his first race of the season. All these things are in place to give him the best springboard to make the next step up the racing career ladder, something which he is already planning.
Despite the pressure on him building in the run up to the start of the 2008 season, James is enjoying his new commitments and can't wait for the lights to go green at the first round. However, with the move into cars, there are a lot of new things that he will need to get to grips with. But this youngster is one of the truly 'laid back' type of racers, who never lets it get to him in the run up to an event, something he knows will already put him one step ahead of his rivals.
