Jessica Hawkins Joins TCR UK

It was recently announced that the one and only Jessica Hawkins will be joining TCR UK for her first full season in 2022.

The W Series alumni will race in a CUPRA TCR over the course of the campaign.

Hawkins is very well known on the British motorsport scene, having taken part in several racing series’, including two rounds of the British Touring Car Championship.

Her only full season of front-wheel-drive tin-top competition so far saw her finish second in the MINI Challenge back in 2017.

She had five wins, three pole positions and thirteen podiums to her name out of the hotly contested 18-race season.

“I’m super-excited for my first full touring car season, and I’m even more excited to be doing it in the UK in what has quickly proved itself to be a fantastic formula in TCR UK. I’m aiming high, obviously, but there’s some serious talent on the grid this year, so I’m going to work my socks off to do everyone proud.” – Jessica Hawkins

Jessica is also famous for her Hollywood stunt work, having most recently worked on Daniel Craig’s final 007 outing, ‘No Time to Die.’

She’ll be hoping that these skills come in very handy as she embarks on her latest challenge.

Hawkins will be driving for FastR alongside teammate Jamie Tonks, who claimed third place in the Milltek Sport Civic Cup Championship in 2021, with both cars being run by Area Motorsport.

It’s going to be thrilling to see how Jessica gets on this year in this new venture.
