In this episode of the Track Limits podcast, we are joined by the CEO and founder of Driven By Us, James Dornor.


In this inspiring episode, we sit down with James Dornor, the award-winning systems engineer and founder of Driven By Us, a groundbreaking organization dedicated to empowering aspiring leaders from ethnic minorities and underrepresented groups in the automotive and motorsport industry. With over 13 years of experience across prestigious teams like McLaren Racing, Haas F1, McLaren GT, and Mercedes AMG F1 Heritage, James shares his journey from engineer to advocate for inclusivity and change.


We explore James's hands-on experiences maintaining cutting-edge electronics and systems on iconic F1 cars driven by legends like Sir Lewis Hamilton MBE, spanning cars from 2022 to 2013. James also reflects on the bold decision to leave his engineering role to focus full-time on Driven By Us, and the impact his organization has already had on diversifying motorsport.


Named in the UK’s Top 100 Future Leader Role Models by INvolve Empower in 2022 and 2023, and a recipient of Highly Commended in STEM at the Evenfield's Black Talent Awards, James discusses the responsibility and vision that come with his accolades. From his time at McLaren and Haas F1 to his ambitions for Driven By Us, he paints a vivid picture of a motorsport industry that is growing more inclusive with each step.


Tune in to hear about James’s journey, his thoughts on leadership, and his vision for creating opportunities for the next generation of motorsport leaders. This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about motorsports, diversity, and fostering a more equitable future in the industry.
