2021

The year was to start with a bang as Power Maxed Car Care Race team appointed Jac in their new role of Development Driver. To compliment this he was to compete in the TCR-UK race series for 2021.

It would see Jac take to the wheel of one of the team's Cupra Leon TCR cars, and it would be his first foray into front-wheel-drive touring car racing. Having won in a number of rear- wheel-drive vehicles, it would be a substantial change but one that he would take in his stride.

He quickly proved a force to be reckoned with within the TCR-UK series however, bad luck was to plague the Team throughout the year and halted Jac's challenge for the Championship title. With the hard work put in by all of the Team Jac did manage a creditable three race wins and stood on the podium at three more.

Alongside Jac's racing programme, he joined the PMR team at almost every British Touring Car round throughout the season in order to gain a deeper understanding of how both the cars and team worked from an engineering perspective, alongside gaining significant commercial experience.

The end of the year would see a ramp up of testing of PMR's BTCC Vauxhall Astra which provided valuable seat time whilst progressing the performance of the race car.

He is now working hard alongside Power Maxed Racing in order to find the funding to compete in the BTCC next year. This elite series remains the only free-to-air motorsport in the UK and is watched annually by almost 20 million people, along with nearly 400,000 visiting in person to watch at 10 events throughout the year.

2020

The onset of the Covid-19 Pandemic caused disruption to the motorsport across the globe and with no clear way forward to further develop Jac's racing abilities, he raced two rounds of the Radical Challenge Championship where he managed to gain a couple of podiums with a win and a third.

The most exciting opportunity for Jac this year was the invite to join the successful British Touring Car Championship team, Power Maxed for a one off guest round, driving their race winning Vauxhall Astra at Croft in October. Whilst Jac was able to compete on the Saturday, with his involvement in the Free Practice sessions and Qualifying, he was unable to take part in the Sunday racing due to a bought of appendicitis overnight. Whilst his race weekend was cut short due to illness, the Team were really pleased with Jac�s approach to the weekend and along with his qualifying result of 21st which was achieved whilst carrying the additional new driver weight of 75kg.

Martin Broadhurst, Power Maxed Racing's technical director said: “When we first met Jac during 2020, he really impressed us with his passion and desire to go out there and win. His race craft and driving standards have been great and we knew we had to put something special together for 2021 so that we could continue working with him.”

Having to overcome the disappointment of Croft, Jac was to be rewarded with a new role set up for him by Martin and the PMR Team in 2021.

2019

With increasing work commitments Jac made a late entry into the Radical Challenge Championship for the 2019 race season. This is an exciting series racing single make Radical SR3X cars and presented a further learning experience for Jac.

Racing with the newly formed Hart GT Team, they took a couple of race meetings to get to grips with the car set up and with the driving style required to get the best out of the impressive aero package.

The series was a very close run thing with Jac being one of three drivers in the running to win the Championship going in to the last round at Donington.

Unfortunately it wasn't to be for Jac even though he won two of the three races that weekend and he went on to gain a 3rd Place finish overall against significantly more experienced teams and drivers.

2018

The year started with a trip to Dubai where Jac was invited by CWS Engineering to race in a four man team in the SP3 Class of the 24Hours of Dubai. The team was owned and run by the hugely experienced Colin White who also drove and the team was rounded out with two South African drivers Simon Murray and Bradley Lienbenberg.

Whilst their Ginetta G55 had some gearbox problems during the race, the team were able to overhaul the field to win their SP3 class.

After his hugely impressive charge to the Am honours in 2017, Jac stepped up to race in the Pro Class of the Michelin Ginetta SuperCup for the 2018 season.

Remaining with the Xentek Motorsport Team Jac had a further season of learning whilst racing amongst the top pros and was a regular top 6 finisher with 3 podium finishes in the year.

Whilst Jac deliberated what 2019 might bring, the year finished with some testing of various cars including a Porsche GT4 at Silverstone and a Ligier LMP3 at Valencia, Spain with Team Virage in two days of downpours.

2017

This year saw Jac step up to the more powerful G55 Ginetta when he raced in the Michelin Ginetta GT4 SuperCup as an amateur driver. (This series supports the British Touring Car Championship).

Jac continued to be supported by Tom Ingram and was able to bring some of his newly developed skills to the grid resulting in a truly successful year where he managed to win the Ginetta GT4 SuperCup Amateur Championship with 13 wins and 18 podium finishes.

(The GT4 SuperCup is Ginetta's Flagship Championship and is seen as a stepping stone into a wide spectrum of motor racing series globally).

2016

Jac made the transition to cars in 2016 where he raced in the highly competitive Protyre Ginetta GT5 Challenge Series, racing a G50 Ginetta. (This series supported the British GT Championship).

Tom Ingram was his driver coach throughout the year and was a great supporter of Jac's efforts to get to grips with the significant differences in the handling characteristics of a race car.

Racing for the Xentek Motorsport Team he was able to use his race craft whilst learning to adapt his driving skills throughout the series and had hard fought podium finishes at both the Silverstone and Donington Race Meetings.

2010-2015

Jac grew up around motorcars in amongst his grandparents' automotive business and has always had a keen interest in motorsport.

He took up karting at the age of eleven and was quickly competing at all of the top British Club Meetings where he had countless race wins and podium finishes.

He entered the Super One British Championship series after only six months of karting and continued to compete at the highest level throughout his successful karting career both in Britain and Continental Europe.
