Qualifying
Jacob topped Qualifying 1 to take Pro-Am pole, then set the second-fastest Pro-Am time in warmer conditions in Qualifying 2 – fourth overall on the Race 2 grid.
Race 1
A rival jumped the start (later penalised) and gained track position, while Jack Sherwood and Stephen Jelley also got away well, dropping Jacob back through the Complex. He looked after his tyres through the middle of the race, then pressured his way past into second in class, but ran out of laps to take the fight to Jelley – his third runner-up finish of the season.
Race 2
From the second row, Jacob held his class position as Will Jenkins, Isaac Phelps and championship leader Callum Voisin came through from the Pro class. He then settled into a rhythm, managing his tyres and the gap behind for a composed second in class.
“It was my first time racing at Thruxton and it went about as well as we could have hoped. We made real progress getting the most out of the new tyre, which showed with pole in class and fourth overall.
“It's very quick out the back of the circuit, so there's a lot of dirty air, and it took me until three-quarters distance to get through in race one. Once I did, I pulled away and started closing on the leader, but I ran out of laps. Two second places and closing in on second in the championship is a great way to end the first half of the season.”
Jacob is third in the Pro-Am standings on 59 points, just two behind second, with eight races in eight weeks to decide the title.
