Who I Am

Jonno Wilson

I'm 17, South African, and I've been working toward one goal since 2022: a professional seat in GT3. I race Rotax DD2 as part of the Toyota Gazoo Racing Junior Academy, which is the next step on that path. This is the result of the work: hours on simulators, gym sessions before school, race data reviewed until it makes sense, and a family and team that back it all.

I built this site because I don't just want to race well. I want to build a career, and that means being straightforward about what I offer partners: a driver early in a genuine trajectory, an engaged audience that follows the journey honestly, and a season of content worth being part of.
