Article: A Drive to Succeed

Story in Autumn 2022 Edition of Hello Sunshine Magazine

Harri Jones is no ordinary 22-year-old; he is one of the most exciting young drivers in Australian motorsport. Carlie Wacker meets the local lad determined to do whatever it takes to be a World Champion.

If you need any motivation to follow your dreams, then come on a journey with me as we get to know Australian Racing Driver Harri Jones. 

Not many race car drivers start on two wheels, but this was the case for Harri. His competitive nature and sporting skills saw him compete at an elite level in Downhill Mountain Biking until a few close calls with injuries forced him to reassess his future. 

It was at the age of fifteen that Harri’s racing career pivoted from mountain bikes to motor vehicles in what can only be considered a gutsy move. I say that because young motor racers usually move up the ranks in the karting world. Not Harri Jones, this extraordinary young man went straight into the Queensland Formula Ford Cup to finish second and cement his name as one the most promising emerging stars in the field.
