James Moffat (racing driver)

James Evan Moffat (born 18 June 1984) is an Australian professional racing driver who competed in the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship.

Moffat, son of touring car legend Allan Moffat, first appeared as a racing driver at club level before moving up to national level racing in a one-make series for Lotus Elise production cars, finishing runner-up in a tight championship fight, before graduating into V8 Utes in 2005.

[1] In late January 2011, Dick Johnson Racing announced the signing of Moffat to pilot the number 18 car vacated by the HRT-bound James Courtney.

Moffat quickly established himself within the new team, coming home first ahead of team-mate Michael Caruso at Winton.

[3] His second placing with co-driver Taz Douglas at the 2014 Bathurst 1000 is his best finish to date at Mount Panorama—a remarkable achievement considering his Altima made contact with the tyre wall at the top of Mountain Straight on two occasions during the race.
