But there are only truely a couple of giants of our sport, long time rivals each with a long list of achievements which puts the atop the history books with legendary status. Jarrad Filsell and Madison Down are the Brock/Moffat/Johnson/Skaife of our sport, and have accumulated every accolade our sport represents over the past 10 years, these two will be remembered and celebrated when they hang up the gloves as the original titans!

James Scott is staking his claim to stand shoulder to shoulder with those titans, representing the next wave of drivers destined for greatness. Much like Marcos Ambrose took over from Skaife, and Whincup became the dominant force in Supercars, James Scott is fast proving he will be next in line.

His performance at Red Bull Ring for round three was incredible, dominating proceedings from the front and edging out a large gap at a draft track of all places. It’s the type of drive we’ve seen from Madison Down or Jarrad Filsell in the past. James is going from strength to strength, and when he leads from the front, he is hard to beat!

Starting out in 2018 for Progression Racing Australia, James has driven for some of the best teams in Australia; All Star Motorsport, Evolution Racing Team, Altus Esports, Synergy Sim Racing and now with Lobs Esport, James has accumulated a wealth of knowledge on his journey to where he is now one of the hardest working and persistent in his search for perfection that he can deliver these type of results.

The burning achievement James desires is to win the Logitech G Pro Series championship, and stand aside Madison Down and Jarrad Filsell as a champion. Coming oh so close in 2023 fuels his fire to get it done, but there is a long road ahead, and a host of exciting talent looking to become the “James Scott”. Brady Meyers is arguably on the same trajectory as James, and knocking on the door is Ric Kuznetsov, Ethan Grigg-Gault, Andrew Gilliam and Jake Moloney, just to name a few.

What do you think? is James the next generational driver? Is James going to be revered in the same way we all admire Madison Downs's endless achievements? Is James Scott in line to take the reins from his mentor and teammate, Jarrad Filsell?
