HOT SHOTS: Still crazy after all these years.

It's been 28 years since James Courtney won his second world karting title.

He was clearly on the fast-track to Formula One, until a giant 300km/h crash in a Jaguar at Monza ended that dream.

A lot has changed since then, but he still fits into his original helmet and race suit.

"Pretty surreal moment today . . . jumped in a kart with the same livery I had when I won my second World Championship," said JC, who is midway through his final season in Supercars and winning big in the world of real estate.
