Garry Jacobson competed in the Supercars Championship for five seasons from 2019 to 2023, accumulating 109 starts across four different teams: Kelly Racing, Matt Stone Racing, Tekno Autosports, and PremiAir Racing. He retired without recording a race win or podium finish, with an average finishing position of 18th across classified results. His career in Australia's premier touring car series was conducted at a semi-professional level within a field of established and front-running competitors.[1]
Throughout his tenure Jacobson faced a consistent competitive deficit to the series' strongest drivers. Against the dominant talents, his record was heavily skewed: he finished behind Shane Van Gisbergen, a two-time Platinum-graded champion, in 82 of 90 shared races, and behind Cameron Waters, rated among the field's elite, in 83 of 89. He managed occasional results against top-tier opposition, beating Gold-graded Broc Feeney twice and Platinum-graded Scott McLaughlin once, but these were isolated instances rather than competitive patterns. His head-to-head record against mid-field regulars such as Mark Winterbottom and Nick Percat was similarly lopsided, with Jacobson trailing both substantially over their shared races.[2]
His final appearances came in 2023 with a two-round stint that yielded no championship points, finishing 42nd in the final standings. The split from PremiAir Racing marked the end of his Supercars career, though Jacobson remained involved in motorsport through subsequent driving roles outside the championship.
