James Achard was a developing-level driver competing in PCA Club Racing, a national multiclass championship in which up to 16 classes race together. He drove Porsches in both the E and H classes between 2004 and 2012, amassing 20 starts and four podiums across that span.[1]
His most recent season came in 2012, when he took one podium from nine rounds and finished 30th in the championship. The bulk of his racing fell in the earlier part of his time in the series, when he was more frequently on the podium. He never won a race on record.[2]
Achard raced regularly against Charles N Belluardo, a developing-level driver with 57 PCA Club Racing starts who consistently finished ahead of him. He was more closely matched with John Ktistes, a club-level regular, and occasionally prevailed against stronger opposition; he beat competitive amateur Michael Martin once and Van Svenson, a driver with 74 PCA Club Racing starts, once.
