About the Team Principal - James Russell
James started karting in early 2001, winning multiple races and championships as a teenager. He moved on to single seaters, saloon cars and rallying up until 2010 when a lack of funds caused him to stop. But racing is in his blood, hence the birth of Stratos Motorsports in 2010.
