Jared Thomas is a professional-level driver rated 4,306, placing him among the sharp end of a competitive single-make series. He has raced primarily in the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup since 2020, where he has accumulated 12 wins and 35 podiums across 88 starts, establishing himself as a consistent front-runner in that field. He holds three championships in that series, earned in 2022, 2023, and 2024. His average finish across all 110 career starts stands at P7.7, a figure elevated by occasional participation in stronger fields; his core strength lies in the MX-5 Cup, where he typically runs near the front.[1]

Thomas has competed against a stable set of rivals in the MX-5 Cup. He holds a commanding head-to-head record against Alex Bachoura, a lower-rated competitor, finishing ahead 65 times to 17 behind across 82 shared races. His record against Gresham Wagner, a two-time champion and fellow Silver-rated professional, is closely matched at 39 wins to 40 losses. Against Aaron Jeansonne, a stronger competitor rated 4,893, Thomas finished ahead 41 times and behind 31 times, indicating he can beat professional-level drivers in this context but does not consistently outpace them. He has occasionally raced against considerably stronger drivers from endurance and sportscar categories; he finished ahead of Connor Zilisch 15 times, though Zilisch is rated 5,897 and competes at a substantially higher level. These appearances have been sporadic and do not form the basis of Thomas's career.[2]

Thomas races under FIA Silver categorisation, the professional-level grading for sportscar and endurance competition, and is the owner of JTR Motorsports Engineering, the team fielding all but 12 of his starts. In 2025 and 2026 he has expanded into Porsche racing, competing in both the Porsche Carrera Cup NA and Porsche Endurance Challenge North America, series in which he has yet to win but scored occasional podiums. His most recent activity shows him competitive in the 2026 Mazda MX-5 Cup season, with three podiums in six rounds and a second-place finish overall, sustaining the consistency that has defined his career across seven seasons of racing.
