Jackson began karting in New Zealand at age 6, securing numerous national titles and a rare ‘triple crown’. At exactly 12, he transitioned to cars in the NZ Formula First Championship, where he won the 2023-24 Rookie of the Year. In 2024, he made history as New Zealand’s youngest-ever race winner (12 years, 225 days) by taking first in the Formula First one-hour endurance race.

He races under the number 12 to honor the age he began racing cars and his idol, Ayrton Senna. Currently favoring the Hampton Downs circuit, Jackson’s immediate goal is to progress to Australian wings and slicks series, with his ultimate sights set on reaching Formula 1.
