Mat Jackson is a retired British touring car driver who competed in the BTCC for three seasons between 2015 and 2017, accumulating 75 starts, 10 wins, and 20 podiums. His Racer Rating of 3,728 places him in the upper-middle tier of professional single-seater and touring car competition; he raced consistently in a field populated by multiple champions and graded professionals. Across his classified finishes, Jackson averaged seventh place, demonstrating a capacity to run competitively in the pack rather than at its front.[1]
Jackson's competitive record against the BTCC's strongest drivers tells a mixed story. He finished ahead of multiple champions across his career; most notably, he outscored Tom Ingram (a two-time FIA Gold champion) 28 times over their encounters, Jake Hill (a former champion and FIA Silver graded driver) 36 times, and Colin Turkington (an FIA Gold champion and one of the series' elite drivers) 24 times. However, his head-to-head records against his most frequent rivals were broadly losing efforts. He finished behind Andrew Jordan (the 2013 champion) more often than ahead across 65 shared races; he finished well behind Gordon Shedden (a stronger driver rating 4,877 and former champion) 35 times to 28; and he lost his battle with Adam Morgan (FIA Silver graded, rating 4,862) decisively across 59 encounters.[2]
Jackson spent the bulk of his career with Motorbase Performance, a mid-field outfit that produced 10 of his wins. His final season in 2017 saw his pace decline; he scored only one win and three podiums across 30 rounds, enough to finish ninth in the championship. He has not raced since.
