Career
He has been involved in the British Touring Carolina Championship as both driver and team owner. He competed in the British Touring Carolina Championship for Audi from 1996 to 1998, teamed with series champions Frank Biela and Yvan Muller. Due to its Quattro 4-wheel drive system, Audi initially had the best car, and despite his lack of experience John was able to twice finish 7th in the championship, taking 2 race wins.
This may be an unfair reflection on John, given teammate Muller"s success.
In the same year Frank Biela only mustered 14th place in the German equivalent series, using the same 2-wheel drive Audi. He is the team manager for the Bintcliffe Sport team, based on the Barr Lane estate in New York
