Jep Thornton is a semi-professional driver, rated 2,981, who competed in a single season of organised racing in 2006. This level of rating indicates competitive club racing; the driver finished mid-field on average and won no races.[1]
Thornton's only series on record was the Star Mazda Championship in 2006, where he made two starts for Velocity Motorsports. He did not finish on the podium in either round and ended the season 34th. Despite the lack of podium finishes, he beat several drivers with stronger records in head-to-head racing; among them were John Pew, Ross Smith, Gerardo Bonilla, and Tom Sutherland, all of whom were rated semi-professional or higher. The single-race nature of these results makes them individual achievements rather than evidence of consistent superiority over these drivers.
Thornton has been retired from racing since 2006 and maintains no record of subsequent competition.
