Driver Bio

You won’t be under any false pretences if you get in Jake Burtons way. He has no problems in making it known. It’s part of his repertoire that makes Jake so brilliant. He is a pro at this, he knows how to pull all the levers to beat you. He knows how to get under your skin and get you off your game.

Jake is a competitor. There is not many people on this grid that hate losing more than Jake, he despises it and he won’t get beaten the same way twice. Jake is one of few eSeries drivers that have tested a real supercar, and raced successfully in the Toyota 86 series. The 2022-2023 Pro Series was a mixture of up and downs for Jake, with a momentous near miss for a dramatic win at round one 2022, followed by some miserable mid field results throughout the following two seasons, but Jake will be back at home in his second year at TTR, and he will be more consistent because of it. Jake still picked up podiums over the past two seasons, so look for Burton in his 2024 TTR Commodore!

He is a V8SCOPS winner and Jake is always a name to be seriously considered when you are looking at who can win. Burton is a name you will hear a lot of this season and we can’t wait to see it play out. Were sure his words would be ‘Bring it on!’
