Jon Finnemore
Jon lives with his wife & daughter in a village on the east side of
Leicester. His passion for speed started as a young boy when he developed
an interest for motorcycles. By the age of seventeen he was tuning and
racing motorbikes. He had a formidable reputation for tuning two stroke
engines during this time.
During the mid eighties he progressed to his eventual forte of race car
preparation; above all he sees his main strength as a race car engineer.
Since he started preparing race cars, Jon has built numerous class and
championship winners, including two championship winning Lotus Sunbeams,
Rover SDI's, a Peugeot 205, an Astra GTE and the famous orange Sunbeam
Tiger - to name but a few.
Driver Profile
Jon's introductions to driving race cars came in the late eighties when
he participated in the slick 50 Road Saloon championships. However, his
racing career began in earnest when he partnered Chris in the Aston Martin
Owners Club endurance races during 1999. (A stroke of genius on Chris's
part to bring in such an awesome talent!). The 2003 season sees a change
to the GT endurance tracing in a Marcos Mantis.Interests
Jon's hobbies include pro-cart racing from which he has gained valuable racecraft. He also enjoys keeping fit and long distance running.
