About Me (James Mansell)
I am a racing driver raising awareness and for Crohn's & Colitis UK (more about them below).
Competing in karting from a young age, I had always dreamed of being a racing driver, but in 2015 that dream got put on hold when I was hospitalised with (unknown at the time) ulcerative colitis. I was eventually let out, but not before an emergency surgery which left me with an ileostomy.
In 2019 I finally got my opportunity, when myself and a friend built a car to compete in the C1 Racing Club, running it in the 24hr race at Silverstone, talk about a baptism of fire!
For the upcoming 2022 season I will be competing a full season in the Tegiwa Type R Trophy.
Crohn's & Colitis UK
Right now, an estimated 500,000 people in the UK are living with a lifelong disease that many people have never heard of.
Because of the stigma and misunderstanding surrounding these diseases, thousands of people are suffering in silence. But they're not alone. We're here for them.
Tegiwa Type R Trophy
The Type R Trophy is one of the UK’s closest one-make hot hatch formulae, with all competitors required to run the same specification of car it gives the drivers a level playing field to prove what they’re capable of out on track.
