Jake Hill is "one of UK motorsport's brightest young prospects" according to Motorsport News.
In his first full season of racing cars in 2010 he broke every record in the fiercely competitive Ginetta Junior series & as a result he was awarded the accolade of BRDC Rising Star.
In 2011 Jake’s success continued: The youngest driver in the 300bhp Ginetta G50 GT series, he took 17 podium finishes, 4 wins, 4 fastest laps.
Like so many talented young British drivers Jake is struggling to raise the funds that his ability warrants, but he's determined to become a professional racing driver, and compete at the Le Mans 24 Hours.

18 year-old Jake Hill got a 'chance of a lifetime' when he was called by Mercedes-Benz factory team HEICO Motorsport to test their 550bhp Mercedes-Benz AMG GT3 SLS race car in Portugal.
Despite never having seen the demanding Portimao Circuit in the Algarve, Hill managed to equal the pole position time from 2010, a stunning result for the team that captured the 2011 FIA GT3 Championship with their SLS GT3 machinery. He also was fastest of the drivers who tested on the day.
