June 19, 2025 – Rising American racing star Jett Bowling has today officially partnered with one of the most iconic and historic names in global motorsport – Brabham, led by former Formula 1 driver and multiple Le Mans winner David Brabham, son of legendary three-time Formula 1 World Champion, Sir Jack Brabham.
The Brabham name has stood at the forefront of international motorsport for over seven decades, with a legacy built on innovation, engineering excellence, and world-class competition. From Formula 1 to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, sportscar success to single-seater dominance, Brabham has consistently pushed the limits of performance and human achievement.
As the next chapter unfolds, David Brabham will bring his 35 years of elite-level experience to guide and mentor Bowling, managing his transition up the international racing ladder. Bowling will join Brabham Group benefiting from the hands-on expertise of one of the sport’s most respected figures.
“We are super excited to sign young American driver Jett Bowling," said David Brabham. "Jett joins Brabham Group’s family of drivers under our management and mentoring business. He’s a talented individual who, in a very short space of time with limited experience, has shown real pace, and that’s something you can’t always teach. The more time I’ve spent with Jett, the more I see shades of Oscar Piastri in him. He has a calmness and emotional control that’s rare at this stage of a driver’s development, qualities that are vital at the highest levels of racing. This year, Jett has shown flashes of brilliance, pole positions, fastest laps, and now his first win in the Formula Regional Americas Championship at the Indy Road Course. There’s a quiet determination about him and a natural skill set that, with the right support and development, I believe will make him a champion of the future.”
Jett came to David’s attention earlier this year during the Castrol Formula Regional Oceania Championship in New Zealand, where Brabham was mentoring Australian driver Patrick Heuzenroeder, currently 2nd in the GB3 Championship in the UK. Despite starting his single-seater career later than most, Bowling has made rapid progress and is on a fast-track learning curve. Partnering with Brabham Group represents a major step in accelerating his development as he aims for the top tiers of global motorsport.
“Signing with David is massive," Bowling added. "Brabham is such a big name in motorsport and to have that name behind me, on top of the Chip Ganassi name, not only does it add wisdom and all of his repertoire I can pull from when I’m talking about a car, but also a bit of pressure. And I think it’s a privilege to have that pressure. I have to uphold the Brabham name and what it stands for now, so it’s such an honour and privilege. I just need to be a sponge at this point of my career. Act like I know nothing. Be confident, but act like I know nothing. I just need to learn. David has so much experience, 35 years of racing all kinds of cars, and he's learned from his dad and his brother, I can learn so much from him. I just want to absorb as much as I can.”
Bowling drives for Kiwi Motorsport and is a Chip Ganassi Racing junior driver, both of which bring world-class pedigree to his program. Despite only a couple of seasons in single-seaters, Bowling has the support of three iconic racing names behind him.
Last weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Bowling had his breakout moment, claiming his first career win in Formula Regional Americas and backing it up with a second-place finish in Race 2, firmly putting himself in the title fight. He was also awarded a limited edition Omologato watch as the standout performer of the weekend.
Jett now heads to Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course this weekend for three more races, with 13 rounds remaining in the 2025 championship season.
