Hi to all you V8 Supercars fans around the world!

At the end of the 2017 season James Moffat announced that he will not be driving full time in 2018.

As it turns out he looks to be hot property and going to have a busy 2018 anyway.

Stepping out from full time driving is for many reasons, one of which is to let young James Golding step up to the main game this year.

He will be driving in the Pirtek Enduro cup with Tickford Racing in 2018.

Out of respect for his contribution to the V8 Supercars racing industry I thought it would be a good idea to look back over his career to date.

James Moffatt was born on the 18^th of June 1984.

As the son of Allan Moffatt (a legend in the world of touring cars) it was inevitable that his path would lead him into the motor sport industry.

James Moffatt made his V8 Supercars Championship Series Debut in 2011 with Dick Johnson Racing.

He drove with Steven Richards in the Enduros in 2010 in the Dunlop Super Dealers Ford Falcon car number 6.

He has been a fulltime V8 Supercars driver since 2011.

This year will be first time he will not have a fulltime drive.
