James Taylor

Like a few other evo writers, James studied automotive design at university, where the main thing he learned about designing cars is that it’s very difficult. He joins evo from CAR magazine, where he was online editor before looking after the magazine’s features section. In love with motorsport since childhood, he raced a homebuilt kart as a teenager and has been fortunate to race in Ginettas, Radicals, McLarens and more in the years since. He’s still mildly worried he might wake up to find it was all a dream.
