James Hunt was second place finisher in the 2008 Speed television program "Setup," a racing reality show that focused on finding the next up-and-coming racer. In addition, he was selected by SPEEDtv.com to do a "Year In the Life" on-line feature that is currently following his personal pursuits in professional auto racing. Hunt recently earned a second place in class in the SCCA 13 Hours of VIR endurance race driving an Acura Integra, as well as the BF Goodrich Take Control Award on his way to a 9th place finish in the highly competitive Ford Racing Mustang Challenge.
After an early start in downhill mountain bike racing, Hunt moved into auto racing with intense driver training. This training quickly grew into competitive racing, instructing and coaching. While growing his racing career, Hunt also works to evolve his company James Hunt Racing, LLC and the talent of his students.
