Practice
Jacob was strong in both practice sessions, running fifth overall and first in class on old tyres in the first.
Qualifying
Jacob's first new-tyre run put him fourth overall and first in class. A technical issue stopped him improving on his second run, leaving him ninth overall and third in class for Race 1.
Race 1
Jacob gained places off the line, but contact from another driver a few corners later caused damage that ended his first Carrera Cup race on the spot.
Race 2
Graves Motorsport worked tirelessly to repair both right-hand corners of the car in time. From the back of the grid, Jacob gained multiple places on the opening lap, then pressured experienced ex-touring car driver Stephen Jelley into a mistake to take second in class. In clean air he was among the three fastest cars on track over the final five laps, matching the overall leaders.
“This weekend certainly didn't go as well as we hoped. A small issue in qualifying put us out of position for race one, and my race was then cut short through no fault of my own. But in race two we were able to show what could have been. Driving from last to second in class was a great result and a reward for the team's incredible work between sessions. I was getting more comfortable in the car every lap and can't wait to get racing again at Brands Hatch.”
A huge thank you to all partners, old and new, for their support in 2026.
