Justine Jackson was born
on November 18, 1990 in Kingston, Jamaica, to
Andrew and Gillian Jackson along with her twin
brother Sean Jackson who is only 10 minutes older.
As a kid, Justine, her dad
and two brothers would attend many motorsports
events in Jamaica such as rallies, dexterities and
sprints but wasn’t hooked until September 2003
where she began her racing career at age 12 racing
go-karts in the Junior Sportsman Rookie Class,
racing for the Jetcon Racing Team which was
sponsored by Jetcon Corporation Limited.
Justine is currently
competing in the 125cc Shifter Class Championship
as she seeks her first Championship title and she
believes that with God as her guide she will
succeed! She is also setting her sights on
competing internationally and making the jump to
formula car racing as she chases her goal of racing
in Formula 1!
Results
In 2004 she made the jump
to the Junior Sportsman Yamaha class but was never
to find success until 2005 where she raced in the
Junior Rotax Class Championship. She had 6 class
podium finishes out of 8 racemeets entered and
attained her first race win in July 2005 at an
International Race meet held locally which saw
persons from Trinidad and Barbados attending. She
would finish 3rd in the Championship.
2006 was another
successful year for the young driver as she had 5
class podium finishes out of 8 racemeets entered,
and received The Star of The Meet Award in October
2006 for an outstanding performance. In 2006 the
Jamaica Karting Association held a street race in
the streets of New Kingston entitled “Red Bull
Smokin’ Streets” which aimed to find
Jamaica’s Ultimate Driver. Justine finished
2nd in The Junior Rotax Class and qualified on the
3rd row for the Ultimate Driver race but was unable
to start due to technical problems on the kart. She
would then go on to finish 3rd in the
Championship.
2007 was a very
challenging year for Justine as she competed in the
ICC 125cc Shifter Kart Class Championship. But she
persevered and made the best of the circumstances.
In 2007 she also completed a Skip Barber 3-day
Racing School Course held at Virginia International
Raceway (South Course) in Virginia, USA in August
and was accepted to The Women in the Winner’s
Circle Driver Development Program established by
Lyn St. James, a former Indy Car and Indy 500
driver.
In 2008, Justine finished
2nd in the Rotax Senior Class Championship with 4
wins, 2 poles and 7 overall class podiums of 10
racemeets entered for the season. She also finished
5th in the 125 cc Shifter Class Championship with 2
overall class podiums from 6 racemeets entered for
the season.
