Owen Jackson

Owen Jackson is a former Gravel Racing League driver. He has only started 8 races yet he has one race win and three podiums to his name. His career was cut short when he had a public fallout with the Forza management and as a consequence he didnt start any of the final 6 races of season one.

Forza (Season One)
Before the start of season one, there were rumours about who would be partnering Michael Saunders at Forza. When the team found out about Jackson, he was immediately signed as he showed reasonable racing ability. Jackson made his debut at the first race at Sebring. He managed to pick up a 10 second penalty due to some reckless and eratic driving that saw him make contact with a number of drivers. At Sedona, Jackson only made it as far as the grid before reliabilty problems kicked in. Jackson's pace was discovered at Road America when he set the fastest lap of the race but he narrowly missed out on a podium. Reliabilty problems struck again at Road Atlanta following a collision with team-mate Michael Saunders. However Jackson's best performance came at Laguna Seca with a dominant win over team-mate Saunders. At New York, another decent performance saw him finish a solid second despite recieving a penalty for hitting Robin Hawthorn. A third successive podium at Sunset Peninsula made Jackson into an outside contender for the championship. Things seemed to be going smoothly until the race at Suzuka where Jackson racked up 20 seconds of penalties for multiple collisions with Edward Knight. This led to a major argument between the Forza management and Jackson and ultimately led to the end of his career. Jackson never raced with the team again. He was offered the chance to return with Mobil in season two but he rejected the offer stating he didn't want to return to the sport as he'd lost his enjoyment in racing.
