Rob Smedley, Co-Founder & CEO of FKL: “Jackson has earned his place as our 2026 Formula 4 driver through a process that was rigorous, objective and uncompromising. This wasn’t a commercial decision, and it wasn’t influenced by background or budget; it was decided on outright performance. Junior motorsport has drifted too far from pure merit, and we set out to prove that there is another way. Promoting Jackson from FAT Karting League proves that standards can be raised when access widens. For the first time, our ecosystem has taken a driver from grassroots karting into F4 purely on ability; something we are incredibly proud of. Now the focus shifts to execution at the next level for both the team and Jackson.”
Ferdi Porsche, Co-Founder: “Our FAT Racing Shootout was designed to identify more than just raw speed, we were searching for the complete package and with Jackson Wolny we have found exactly that. He has earned his place through performance, talent, discipline and mental strength, and we’re excited to take the next step together in British F4. What makes this moment even more special is that Jackson will become the very first driver of our newly founded FAT Racing Department. We are building a program that will grow to more F4 cars, as well as F3 and F2. Having him lead the first chapter of that journey is something we are extremely proud of.”
