Macauley Jones

Growing up in one of Australia’s most-successful motorsport dynasties has influenced Macauley Jones, who has already proved himself a chip off the old block.

The son of multiple Australian motorsport champion Brad Jones has racked up a few titles, including the 2011 South Australian Rotax Light Champion and three state junior karting titles.

That led to a drive in the Australia Formula Ford Championship in 2012, crowned Rookie of the Year and finishing fifth, then coming fourth the following year.

To start his 2014 campaign, Jones competed in the Toyota Racing Series in New Zealand, before stepping up to the Dunlop Super2 Series in Townsville, scoring a 10th place finish on debut.

In 2015 he made his full-time debut in both Supercars categories, finishing 12th in Super2 making his PIRTEK Enduro Cup debut with Dale Wood.

After finishing ninth in 2016, maiden podiums in Super2 came last year on his way to seventh in the points, along with a victory in the non-points Bathurst 250km race.

Jones raced as a Supercars wildcard at Winton and Hidden Valley in 2017 and has now contested three Enduro Cups with BJR.

A best result of 10th has come twice, at Bathurst with Tim Blanchard in 2016 and in the Sunday Gold Coast race last year with Nick Percat.
