In 2009 wild American TV star Jesse James made his first appearance at the Festival of Speed with his crazy driving antics in his Baja desert racing Trophy Truck. Three years on, he is set to return to the Festival of Speed in the latest racing incarnation of his Baja-style Trophy Truck, with daily hooning around throughout the Goodwood Park landscape.
Jesse James may be familiar to you all as the presenter of cult TV shows such as Monster Garage and Motorcycle Mania, in which he rampages across deserts and through houses. The presenter also holds the world land speed record for a hydrogen powered vehicle, when he hit 199.7mph at the El Mirage Dry Lake Bed in California.
Met him at Goodwood in 2009, great guy. Tore it up too in his truck. Not sure how pleased the organizers were.
