Build-up
Jacob was recovering in hospital from an illness until the Tuesday of race week. He took part in Wednesday's official test on a reduced programme to make sure he was fit to race, and the aim for the weekend was simple: score points and stay in the championship fight.
Qualifying
With his preparation limited, Jacob qualified further back than at the first two rounds.
Race 1
A superb start saw Jacob pass Stephen Jelley into the Agostini Hairpin for second in class, and within three laps he was applying relentless pressure to the leader. A track limits penalty applied after the race dropped him to third.
Race 2
Jacob held second in class from the start and passed Graves Motorsport Pro teammate Sid Smith on lap six to build a gap. He pushed to the flag, setting the fastest lap in class and missing the fastest lap overall by just a tenth of a second.
“At the start of the week I genuinely doubted I'd be able to race, so I'm fortunate to have such a supportive team around me. Our aim was to score solid points, which we did, and setting the fastest lap in class – a tenth off the fastest lap overall – showed the real pace we have.
“The summer break gives me time to fully recover and focus on what we need to improve. We're on a steep learning curve this year, and I intend to push even harder when the season returns.”
Jacob heads into the nine-week summer break third in the Pro-Am standings, just ten points off the lead.
