Another case of a Kiwi punching above his weight. 

Hailing from Christchurch, 20 year old motorsport driver Jacob Douglas is currently competing in the USF Pro 2000 Circuit over in the States. 

He’s on the road to IndyCar, and has just wrapped up the season, finishing 5th overall and securing a win and eight podiums. 

At age 16 Douglas made the move to America in order to chase his dreams, and told Mike Hosking at the time he didn’t realise how big of a deal it was. 

“I was kind of just, y’know, another Kiwi going off overseas to chase my goals in sports,” he said. 

“But it was a great experience, and yeah, I loved every minute of it.”
