The Drivers Club is part of the Jota Group, a world-class, professional motor racing organisation and one of Britain’s pre-eminent racing teams.


Often competing under the guise of the major corporate partners or manufacturers it represents, Jota-prepared cars have competed four times at Le Mans and taken podiums across five seasons of the Le Mans Series, as well as in several American Le Mans Series events. More recently, its newest racing division, Jota Sport, finished 2nd overall in its debut season of the highly prestigious Porsche Carrera Cup and in 2010 become an Official Partner Team to Aston Martin Racing. As such Jota Sport now represents the iconic British marque at the highest levels of world sportscar racing, including the Le Mans 24 Hours and other Le Mans Series and FIA GT events around the globe.


Since its inception in 2000, no fewer than four ex-Formula One drivers and three Le Mans winners have driven for Jota. Now, The Drivers Club, run by the very same people behind this success story, offers unparalleled access to this exceptional wealth of experience.

Sam Hignett, co-founder of Team Jota

A qualified materials engineer, former professional racing driver and veteran of Le Mans both as a driver, team owner and team manager for multiple high profile privateer and works outfits, Sam now focuses his attentions on the overall development of the Jota group. Of direct relevance to The Drivers Club is the recent creation of Air Jota, the group’s private airline regularly used by members to travel to and from the race tracks.

Alastair MacQueen, Race Engineer

Alastair is arguably one of the country’s top motorsport engineers. In a career spanning nearly four decades he has tasted overall victory at Le Mans three times (1988 & 1990 with Jaguar; 2003 with Bentley), taken class victory an astonishing eight times and worked with some of the sport’s most famous names. His career began in the late 1970’s when he joined Eddie Jordan Racing and forged a successful partnership with Martin Brundle in Formula 3. Since moving to the world of sportscars and endurance racing in which he achieved so much Alastair has been hailed by former colleague and F1 team boss, Ross Brawn, as a master of race strategy.
