Top speeds of over 160mph at Thruxton are reached in corners like Noble and Church rather than on a straight, with only two big braking zones in the lap. Jacob knows the track from the Porsche Esports Carrera Cup GB, and June's in-season test – where he was the only driver who'd never driven Thruxton before – gave him valuable real-world laps.
“The break came at exactly the right time, and I'm feeling refreshed. It's a track I know well from the sim, but nothing quite prepares you for how fast it is in real life. We had a great test, and there are a few small areas where I can find more time to get us to the front.”
