🇬🇧 Mat Jackson

Mat Jackson is a professional driver who raced in the British Touring Car Championship from 2015 to 2017, competing in a single-class national championship that mixed amateur and professional entrants on the same grid. He drove for Motorbase Performance for 45 of his 75 starts across three seasons.[1]

Over that period Jackson took ten wins and twenty podiums in seventy-five starts. His 2017 season, his final year on record, yielded one win and three podiums from thirty rounds, placing him ninth in the championship standings. Against his most frequent rivals he showed mixed form; he usually finished ahead of Josh Cook, a professional-graded driver with substantial BTCC experience, while he proved closely matched with Tom Ingram, who would go on to win the championship in 2022. He beat the four-time BTCC champion Ash Sutton on multiple occasions across their time in the series.[2]

Jackson's results placed him mid-field against a grid that ranged from amateurs to established professionals, with few clear wins over drivers who would later establish themselves at a higher level.
