22 year old James Wozencroft is one of the hottest new prospects in UK rallying, his results over the last 2 years have equaled that of the best in the country. With the right backing he could be Britain's next World Champion!
 

2005 Stars of the Future

Since making his debut into rallying James has wowed onlookers with his impressive overall results in national level rallies. In 2005 his efforts paid off as he caught the eye of Suzuki and since then the Ludlow driver has not looked back. 2005 was an incredible year for James as he drove the 1400cc Suzuki Ignis in the new British Rally Championship ‘Stars of the Future’ class. Five straight wins and fastest times on 29 out of the 31 stages of the championship made James the first winner of the Stars of the Future Championship and voted the third best driver in the whole of the British Championship.
 

2006 British Rally Championship

His amazing performance in 2005 meant Suzuki kept James on to drive in the British Rally Championship in a Junior World Rally Car as the number 2 driver in the Dealer Team along side 2005 Junior World Championship runner-up Driver Guy Wilks. Not only did James have to learn a new car but also he had to compete against three regular world championship drivers. After 2 victories a 2nd and two 3rd places James held the trophy as 2006 British Super 1600 Champion an unbelievable feat for the relative newcomer. With a lack of tarmac experience compared to his rivals James entered the Irish Tarmac Championship and despite only competing on 4 out of the 8 rallies the team claimed 2nd in the Championship, it seemed like there was no stopping James in 2006.
 

World Rally Championship

Still driving for Suzuki, 2006 saw James compete on his first World Championship Rally, Rally of Great Britain, renowned as one of the fastest gravel rallies in the world Rally GB received heavy rain making driving treacherous. James relished the opportunity and put in the best drive of his life to be lying 3rd overall in the Junior World Championship with only 1 stage to go but a last stage puncture meant the Ludlow driver dropped to 6th, however it was still an excellent result.
