In this episode of the Made in Portsmouth Podcast, we sit down with Portsmouth racing driver James Seale to explore the highs, lows, and realities of life in motorsport. From his earliest memories of racing to competing in Porsche Sprint Racing, James shares the journey that took him from a motorsport enthusiast to a competitive racing driver

We discuss the dedication, mental focus, and physical preparation required to compete at a high level, the challenges of breaking into the sport, and the people who have supported him along the way. James also gives an insight into race weekend preparation, car setup, teamwork behind the scenes, and what it really feels like sitting on the grid waiting for the lights to go out.

Plus, we cover some memorable moments from his racing career, a few funny and embarrassing stories from the track, and put him through a quick-fire round on dream races, favourite drivers, and the best cars he has driven.
