MEET OUR TEAM.

Origin

Jones Motorsport is a family-owned and professional racing team founded in 2016. Starting with local club and historic motorsport events, the team expanded in 2017 to compete in the Australian Formula Ford Championship, followed by the Australian Formula 3 Championship in 2018. In their debut season, Jones Motorsport secured a victory with team principal, Harri Jones, behind the wheel. Harri, who has been developed by the team throughout his grassroots journey, progressed through the ranks of motorsport, clinching titles in the Porsche Sprint Challenge and Carrera Cup Championship. His rise culminated in competing at the pinnacle of Porsche one-make racing, the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.

In 2025, Harri returns to Australia full-time and takes over the operation of Jones Motorsport, with plans to further expand into the upper echelons of Porsche Motorsport in the region.

This exciting year sees Jones Motorsport embarking on a three-car Porsche Sprint Challenge program, along with a full-time entry in Porsche Carrera Cup. As the team continues to grow, we are seeking passionate and skilled individuals to join us as drivers, engineers, or technicians.

Based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Jones Motorsport operates from a state-of-the-art facility, staffed by a team of experienced professionals. With the infrastructure, capability, and drive to succeed at the highest levels of Australian motorsport, Jones Motorsport is committed to providing drivers with the platform they need to shine.

Vision

Motorsport, both in Australia and internationally, is a dynamic and fast-paced industry that can be difficult to navigate. At Jones Motorsport, we take a holistic approach to support our drivers. Our primary focus is on delivering a competitive on-track program, with top-tier car preparation, engineering, mechanics, and testing. But we also provide essential guidance in other critical areas of a racing driver’s journey. This includes navigating corporate partnerships, networking, physical and mental training, nutrition, career planning, and much more — all of which are vital to a driver's growth and success in the sport.

We achieve this by collaborating with industry-leading professionals who bring valuable expertise and experience from across the motorsport world.

To offer the most focused and tailored ‘arrive and drive’ experience, Jones Motorsport will have a limited number of seats available for the 2025 season. If you’re looking to elevate your racing career, contact us today to learn more about how we can help you reach the next level.
