He impressed judges at the final assessment day at Donington Park on Monday 11 March. James has earned a fully financed drive in the 2024 Ginetta GT Academy as part of a total prize estimated to be worth \u00a3100,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>50 people took to Bedford Autodrome for the initial selection phase, driving three fantastic cars, the Caterham PalmerSport edition, G56 GTA and JP-LM. Entrants not only had to adapt between cars but also three different circuit configurations. From the 50 entrants, two were chosen for the final shootout at Donington. They will take their ARDS test and embark on a final evaluation. The winner will receive a fully funded season of racing in the Ginetta GT Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the two, James Nicholas impressed the judges to beat fellow finalist David Williams on 11th March 2024. On 15th March, James completed his first media day as a racing driver and on the weekend of the 30th March will compete for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ginetta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image.jpeg\" alt=\"PalmerSport and Ginetta race car\" class=\"wp-image-5073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ginetta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image.jpeg 1400w, https:\/\/www.ginetta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.ginetta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-428x285.jpeg 428w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>James said: \u201cI\u2019m so unbelievably happy, I\u2019m trying to contain myself a little bit, I\u2019m over the moon. I didn\u2019t expect to win, it was an amazing day and hopefully I don\u2019t let anyone down. Everyone dreams of winning, but deep down you never think you\u2019re going to. It still feels a bit of a whirlwind. I\u2019ve been on an adrenaline rush for days waiting for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy target for Oulton is experience, get through it unscathed and try and improve. Everyone wants to come first, that always is the aim, but for my first race ever, at a track I don\u2019t know, I need to get through it, don\u2019t do anything silly, hopefully improve and build up the championship as it goes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From recent testing, James looks in the mix with the GT Academy field. We\u2019re excited to see his progression this season. James will line up on the grid at Oulton Park on Saturday 30 March, supporting the prestigious British GT Championship. He will compete in seven events, a total of 21 races. He&#8217;ll race in the PalmerSport-branded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginetta.com\/our-cars\/g56\/g56-gta\/\">Ginetta G56 GTA race car<\/a>, which will be run by the Ginetta factory team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James Nicholas is the PalmerSport Ginetta Shootout race scholarship winner.
