Qualifying
Jacob qualified on Am class pole for Race 1 and Race 2, sixth overall.
Race 1
Heavy rain over lunch made Race 1 very wet. After a cautious opening few laps, Jacob began closing on the Pro cars ahead, running in their slipstream and forcing small mistakes that gave him low-risk chances to pass. He finished fourth overall and more than ten seconds clear of the next Am car.
Race 2
On a greasy track, Jacob dropped to 11th overall from the wetter side of the grid. He worked his way past the Pros to reach second in class with two laps to go, then reeled in the leader at more than a second a lap. Held up by backmarkers on the last lap, he crossed the line side by side – and lost by just 0.019 seconds.
Race 3
With rain forecast, it was a coin toss on tyres in the assembly area. Jacob chose wets, as did his main championship rival. Around a third of the grid gambled on slicks, and as the track dried they became the faster tyre. Jacob finished third, keeping his championship lead intact.
“Sunday was frustrating – I know we had the pace for much more, but circumstances didn't go our way. It was very encouraging to see the progress we've made. This was the first round where I've been up there with the front-running Pros in every session, which is where I've wanted to get to this year.”
The finale at Brands Hatch is on the Grand Prix circuit, which is new to Jacob. A short test there last week was mostly damp, but it gave him valuable familiarity with one of the fastest, most demanding layouts in the country.
