Background
Jack Clarke was born into a motor sport family - his step father is the ex-Formula One driver, Julian Bailey - and despite his parents trying everything possible to keep him out of motor sport, he has excelled at everything he has driven and in 2006 was awarded a scholarship from BMW (UK) to race in the 2006 Formula BMW Series in the UK.
Jack finished his ‘A’ levels at City of London Freemen’s School in Ashtead, Surrey in
summer 2006 and having enjoyed a good rookie season in Formula BMW he is now
racing in his second year in motor sport with the prestigious Formula Palmer Audi
series. He is currently running fourth in the championship having won or finished on
the rostrum in eight of his last ten races.
Jack is planning to compete in the Formula Palmer Audi winter series later this year and
stay in the championship in 2008 with his eyes firmly set on the title.
Jack is supported by a number of high profile drivers and motor sport personnel
including F1 driver, David Coulthard and Indy 500 winner, Gil de Ferran.
