Jackson Burford is an emerging motorsport driver who’s already secured podium finishes in 4SS Junior Karting and now competes in the KA3 Junior category. He is gearing up for his 2026 debut in Formula Vee and has his sights set on the British Formula 4 path ahead.

 

Also a competitive sim racer with multiple wins, he combines technical analysis, telemetry, and endurance training to prepare for a future in national open-wheel racing.

​

Alongside his motorsport journey, Jackson is a STEM award-winner and Oliphant Science Awards Ambassador, recognised for designing and launching a payload to space with SpaceX at an exceptionally young age — believed to be among the youngest worldwide.

 

He has delivered public speaking appearances at the Australian Space Discovery Centre, Lot Fourteen, and local schools—sharing how innovation, persistence, and science fuel success both on the racetrack and beyond.
