Episode 37 - Harri Jones

This Sunday, the Repco Bathurst 1000 hits the track for its 68th running, and among the 54 starters are six eager rookies—the oldest of whom is this episode's guest, the two times and defending Porsche Carrera Cup Australia champion, Harri Jones. At just 26, Jones is making his long awaited debut at The Great Race for Team 18, co-driving with Anton DePasquale. Harri's journey has been one of consistent success, graduating from open-wheelers to dominating the Porsche pyramid, winning the 2019 Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge and claiming his first Carrera Cup title in 2022. His stellar form even earned him a stint overseas, finishing as rookie vice-champion in the ultra-competitive Porsche Supercup in 2023 supporting the Formula 1 calendar, before returning to Australia to immediately win his second Carrera Cup title. Harri joins us to discuss his European journey and his immediate, title-winning return to Australia, where he now races as an owner-driver. We also dive into his hands-on role in his family’s extensive motorsport business, which runs multiple cars in the Porsche Sprint Challenge and boasts a stunning collection of historic race cars. Harri also opens up about his family's deep roots in racing—including his dad's role in a legendary '90s Sports Sedan championship win—and reveals the fascinating details of his very German dream garage.
