On today’s episode we’ve got Australia’s international driving sensation, Jake Parsons, who is taking Japan by storm. We sat down with Jake and had one hell of a chat tracking his career journey across the globe. Here is a taste of some of the topics we got stuck into throughout the episode:
Where has Jake been living/racing these past eight years?!?
The BAD start in karts to racing the U18 Karting World Champs
Transitioning to Duratec Formula Ford with Synergy 
Road to Indy - the international journey begins
Japanese culture & Hooly’s obsession with vending machines

Japanese Super GT300, Super Taikyu & Formula 3 racing
