Practice
Most of the grid had tested at Brands Hatch GP before; Jacob hadn't. In a damp, drizzly Friday he showed good pace in FP1 and improved in FP2 to end the day eighth overall, four tenths off the front.
Qualifying
After work on Friday night and Saturday morning, Jacob was provisionally on the front row after his first new-tyre run. Pole came down to Jacob, Callum Voisin and Isaac Phelps, and he qualified third overall – three tenths clear of the next Pro-Am car.
Race 1
Jacob held third and began to challenge Phelps and Voisin before a safety car. After the restart he kept pace with the leaders to finish third overall and first in Pro-Am.
Race 2
Starting second, Jacob took the lead from Will Jenkins at the second corner of the opening lap. As Jenkins defended from 2026 Pro Champion Callum Voisin, Jacob controlled the pace. Voisin got through and piled on the pressure in the final laps, but Jacob stayed composed to take his first overall win in the Porsche Carwow Carrera Cup GB.
“I'm just incredibly happy! We've had a really tough last three rounds, so to end like this, with two overall podiums and an overall win, is so good. After the first lap I knew it was my race to manage – I just made sure I stayed on track, avoided any track limits penalties and brought it home.
“Winning an overall race was my goal at the start of the year, so I'm very happy to get it done. It's a great reward for me, the team around me and my family. A huge thank you to Graves Motorsport, Duckhams Yuasa Racing and all my partners for giving me this opportunity and such a good car.”
Jacob finishes his debut Carrera Cup season third in the Pro-Am championship on 126 points, with four class wins, seven further class podiums, two earlier overall podiums and that first overall victory.
Thank you to Graves Motorsport, Duckhams Yuasa Racing and all of our partners – EDGE, Verve Display, The Race to Save Lives and Absolute – and to everyone who has followed along this season.
