Watching his father race around a speedway circuit as a young boy was all it took for Garry Jacobson to fall in love with motor sports.
Jacobson, now 27 has recently joined the Matt Stone racing team to compete in the Virgin Australia Supercars championship driving a ZB Commodore.
His career in racing has been a progression beginning with go-karts at the age of 13, he began winning titles in 2008 leading to a scholarship with the Confederation of Motor Sports, (CAMS), while still in high school debuting with the CAMS Rising Star program after winning at Phillip Island.
During this time, Garry was committed to building his brand, learning about teamwork, understanding the support that goes on behind a racing team. He took up a post as a motor sport mechanic on leaving school.
“Supercars are the pinnacle of Australian motor racing. My focus is to build my market value with the sport and become a good ambassador for the businesses that provide the sponsorship.” said Garry.
With an ultimate aim of racing in the United States at NASCAR, Garry certainly has speed in his blood.
