The road so far
Every step up has meant faster cars, stronger fields and more at stake. Each one has been earned on track.
-
2021 – present
Karting & sim racing
Where it started: racing in local karting leagues and competing in sim racing, learning racecraft wheel to wheel.
-
2026
RUSH SR
Canadian champion in a spec sports-racer series, where identical cars mean the driver makes the difference. Title sealed with a win at the season finale.
7 wins, 16 podiums, 2 poles

2027 onward
LMP3
A 470 hp, third-generation Ligier JS P325 prototype with Team Virage, racing in Prototype Cup Europe on the ACO’s ladder to the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Built in Canada, racing in Europe
Jacob came up through karting and competitive sim racing before moving into cars, where he quickly became the driver to beat. In 2026 he took the Canadian RUSH SR title, winning seven races and finishing on the podium sixteen times.
The next step is the biggest yet: endurance prototypes in Europe, against drivers aiming for the same goal — a seat at Le Mans.
He gets there with the support of Canadian businesses that have backed him from the start.
