🇦🇺 James Roe Jr.

James Roe Jr. is an entry-level professional competing in single-seater and endurance racing across North American championships. He currently races for Chip Ganassi Racing in Indy NXT. His indexed record spans from 2019 to 2026, with his most sustained effort coming in the Indy Pro 2000 Championship, where he took a full season with Turn 3 Motorsport; he also holds starts in Formula Regional Americas and the Asian Le Mans Series, an endurance championship in which drivers share cars over longer races.[1]

His record totals 40 starts across three series with 2 wins and 2 podiums. In Formula Regional Americas in 2019, he took one win and one podium from 16 starts. The Indy Pro 2000 season in 2021 yielded his other win and podium across 18 rounds, where he finished ninth in the final championship standings. His most recent activity is in the Asian Le Mans Series, where he holds six starts for TF Sport across the 2026 season.[2]

The fields he races carry established professionals alongside semi-professionals and amateurs. In Indy Pro 2000, he regularly faced Christian Rasmussen, the 2021 champion of that series and a subsequent Indy NXT champion, and Jacob Abel, an established professional with extensive single-seater experience across all three championships; against both, Roe usually finished lower in the order. He has finished ahead of Kyffin Simpson, the 2021 Formula Regional Americas champion, in five meetings, and once finished ahead of Laurin Heinrich, a Gold-graded professional and 2024 IMSA WeatherTech GTDPRO champion.
