Life in the Fast Lane

Greaves Motorsport, managed by former d'Overbroeck's student Jacob Greaves, have unveiled their new livery for 2012. “We have been very happy with the scheme that we have run for the past two years," Greaves explained, "[and] we think that the subtle changes made will enhance what is already a very distinctive and contemporary design.”

Whilst he was a student at d'Overbroeck's, Jacob Greaves combined his studies with a lifelong passion for racing, driving a Radical SR8 in both the European and UK Championships. Since he was a young boy he's been involved in some form with motor racing, competing as a driver for two and a half years from the age of 16. During this time he achieved success, winning the Radical World Cup in his class in 2006.

Since then Jacob has moved into the management side of racing and is now Team Manager of Greaves Motorsport with a wide range of responsibilities including logistics; liasing with the media, sponsors and suppliers; managing the team's day to day finances and organising events for Greaves Motorsport supporters both on and off track. And in this role he's achieved more success, winning the Le Mans 24 Hours in 2011 in the LMP2 class.
