James Dorlin is a British silver-graded professional sportscar and endurance racing driver with a Racer Rating of 3,805, placing him in the semi-professional band; at this level, a driver competes regularly among full professionals and wins in pro-am classes, though rarely at the very top of the grid. Dorlin's career on record spans five seasons from 2019 to 2026 across sportscar and touring car racing, accumulating 37 starts without a race win or podium finish. His most substantial programme has been the 2025–2026 British Touring Car Championship, where he has made 25 starts for Restart Racing. Prior to that, he contested the British GT Championship between 2019 and 2022 with Redline Racing, and made a brief appearance in the 2022 GT World Challenge Europe, the most prestigious field he has entered.[1]
Dorlin's record against rivals at the BTCC and in British GT shows the competitive landscape he inhabits. He has been consistently outpaced by the series' established front-runners. Against Ash Sutton, a four-time BTCC champion and an elite professional driver, Dorlin has finished ahead only once in 20 shared races. Dan Cammish and Adam Morgan, both established professionals, have beaten him in head-to-head encounters by margins of 18–2 and 17–4 respectively. His most frequent rival has been Aiden Moffat, against whom Dorlin's record is more competitive at 7–13. Notably, he has recorded isolated finishes ahead of Charles Weerts, a three-time GT World Challenge Europe champion and platinum-graded professional; Kelvin van der Linde, the 2025 GT World Challenge Europe champion; and Ash Sutton, each a single occasion that speaks to tactical positioning or circumstance rather than sustained competitiveness at that level. His average finishing position of P13.1 across all classified starts places him firmly in the mid-field. Dorlin remains active in touring car racing, having joined Restart Racing for the 2026 BTCC campaign.[2]
