ANDOVER man Brady James is one in 4,000 this summer as he embarks on a motor racing career thanks to the Exchange and Mart Driver's Challenge, where he fought off all comers to win the chance to race an FI car.

What began as an interest in Karting and took off only last year has now gained Brady national recognition and a season of racing in the Sports 2000 series which began last weekend at Brands Hatch. It has been a long haul for the local man who had to pre-qualify at Kart tracks and had to get through each stage as they progressively became harder.
