James Courtney

James Courtney is a Supercars Championship legend, and I don’t use that word casually. The 2010 champion’s career spans multiple decades, he’s competed for some of the sport’s biggest teams, and he’s amassed one of the largest race start tallies in the championship’s history. Here’s what sets Courtney apart from most of the grid: his international racing background, which includes competing in the British Formula 3 Championship and testing Formula One cars, gives him a breadth of experience that very few drivers in the Supercars paddock can match. His move to Tickford Racing has given him a late-career platform to continue competing at the front of the field.
