The Lamborghini is a beast to drive.<\/p><\/div>\n

AVON, Ind.<\/strong> \u2013 Hi everyone! We really took this one down to the wire, but it\u2019s finally time to announce my plans for the 2025 season. I\u2019ll be competing in the IMSA Lamborghini Super Trofeo series with Forty7 Motorsports. I\u2019m thrilled to be sharing the No. 88 Lamborghini Hurac\u00e1n EVO2 with third-year Super Trofeo driver Christopher Tasca.<\/p>\n

And the season starts now! As I write this (Tuesday morning) we are currently en route to Sebring International Raceway for the opening rounds of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo season as part of the 12 Hours of Sebring weekend. I\u2019ll take part in two 50-minute races. Per series regulations, I\u2019ll start one race with Chris finishing, and we\u2019ll swap roles for the second race. I can\u2019t wait to get more seat time in this incredible car\u2014it\u2019s an absolute beast. With 625 horsepower and a top speed of around 170 mph, the Hurac\u00e1n EVO2 is raw, aggressive, and incredibly fun to drive. I know it will push me to improve and prepare me for even bigger, faster machines in the future.<\/p>\n

Sebring is an iconic venue for sports car racing.<\/p><\/div>\n

Competition in this series is fierce, which makes it an amazing opportunity to learn from some of the best drivers in the world. That said, I have high expectations for us. We\u2019ve been very strong in preseason testing, and I believe we\u2019ll only keep getting faster. The Super Trofeo series is divided into four classes: Pro (two pro drivers), Pro-Am (one pro, one amateur), Am (two amateur drivers) and LB Cup (Bronze-rated drivers) We don\u2019t yet know which class we\u2019ll be racing in and if I\u2019ll be considered Am or Pro, but no matter where we land, I\u2019m optimistic we\u2019ll be competitive. Chris is an amateur racer with a full-time job (the CEO and co-founder of our primary sponsor, Fly Alliance) so part of my job is to help get Chris comfortable and quicker. We had a good test at Sebring a couple of weeks ago and there is great potential.<\/p>\n

My office for the upcoming season.<\/p><\/div>\n

Here\u2019s how you can watch: Race 1 \u2013 Thursday at 5:50 PM ET. Race 2 \u2013 Friday at 5:00 PM ET. They will be broadcast live on Peacock. Search for Super Trofeo: Sebring Race 1 and Super Trofeo: Sebring Race 2. If you don\u2019t have Peacock, I think they also air live in the US on YouTube. They are definitely archived there.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll still be doing some racing with CSM in the Porsche Cayman GT4 in IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge and we are working to finalize that schedule for later in the year.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m beyond excited to kick off the 2025 season and make the most of this opportunity. Thank you all for your continued support\u2014it means the world to me!<\/p>\n

Stay fast,
\nJackson<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
