J-RACING ADVENTURES
Team Manager: Evan Jameson (jeracerx)
Team Summary:
Team Summary: Evan Jameson was just a a average everyday guy who had a love of racing. Unfortunately in small-town America, he had no real way of getting into racing. Luckily, he somehow managed to win the lottery (lucky bastard, isn't he?) and now has the funds to manage a racing team. After achieving success in many club-level championships, he was looking to enter the big leagues.
With his small amount of knowledge from club level racing, Evan is a semi-competent leader, managing to run decently to run decently as a a relative newcomer to RHU, being a midpack team on running at a small scale. After a breakout season in 2020 which saw multiple wins in the Aeternam Euro Series Genteman's Cup, JRA is ready to take on the GTE AM class of the American IMAS GT Championship with it's driving talent and cars from Aeternam. With the team's only endurance entry coming in the 2016 Tsukihime 1000KM, this season will be the team's biggest challenge to date.
Team Roster:
Jason Oakley
Nationality: United Kingdom
Birthday and Age: June 4th, 25 years old
Profile:
Jason Oakley is a very well off man, he was born into riches from his parent's clothing brand that was very popular in the UK. They were known for the traditional royal purple color scheme that was used in the logo as well as many of the clothing varieties. When he got into his teens he soon realized how much of a bore boarding school was, and took off to a go-karting track whenever he could. He continuously practiced, improving his skill over a long time, but then gave up after hearing the go-kart track he went to shut down. He then went back to the school, and was surprised at the amount of rumors of his parent's company being cheaters, and frauds. Which he instantly denied, but later on a couple years after his school years - he was walking past the abandoned kart track when he saw one of the karts left out, even after all this time. He decided to have a go on it, and found himself going around lap after lap for hours, not making improvements on them, but he was still having fun. That's when Jason decided he needed to take up racing, it'd be a great way to show-off how he isn't with all those rumors about his family, and that he's his own person doing what he likes most.
Jason Oakley is a show-off with an aggressive nature, but prefers to win race from skill over just spinning out the opponent... Jason has dark brown short hair, and likes to wear his royal purple suit as much as he can, even just before a race start sometimes! He likes to act real cool, but underneath, he's actual a hot-head. This leads to his bad consistency on track as he loses focus from hearing another driver beat his lap, etc. He likes; racing flashy supercars [GT racers usually], being a show-off, winning the race in at least the podium. Other than his racing career, he doesn't really do much else on the side rather than lazing around. So he has plenty of time for trial events and practices... Even though he may not make them due to lack of effort.
RP Notes:
- Is an uber show-off, will try to "prove" how cool he is if he is given the chance.
- Quite the conversationalist, but mainly in his liked topics, such as racing... That's it.
- Gets bored of people who show no interest in him, especially those who put him down, those will become rivals easily.
- Doesn't mind scratching the car in a minor collision, but won't perform such acts as Esther, he usually follows behind as if a supporter of some kind.
Akoni Clarke
Nationality: Jamaica
Birthday and Age: April 21, 30 years old
Profile:
Summary: Akoni is an oddity in the racing world, unlike most drivers, instead of making his way through the ranks, he simply ran across his chance to race. In his birthplace in Jamaica, he was known as one of the best street racers around, despite not actually owning a car. He would effectively be hired by others to drive for them, and take a small cut of the winnings. He made a small living this way, but didn’t have much to his name.
One night, he was in a bar, when Bo-bo Smith, a reggae star with racing ambitions, walked in, and they started chatting, a few hours later, Akoni was suddenly a part of Lion’s Mane Motorsports. Because of his ability to adapt easily to most cars, he had no trouble with LMM’s Supra, but unfortunately, his history of not having to take care of the cars he drove led him to suffer with keeping the car together during the race. He’s a decent driver, but he’d need more discipline to become a serious competitor. After a few unsuccessful seasons, Bo-bo closed LMM, and Akoni was once again a free agent. Evan Jameson knew this and decided to add him to his team for the 2020 season. After showcasing some quick but 'interesting' driving throughout the season, Akoni is going into 2021 season with the challenge of having to hold his car together for multiple hours in the IMAS GT Championship.
RP Notes:
-It’s not entirely known if he has bought a car of his own yet
-Super laid back person, it’s almost impossible to get him riled up
-May or may not sometimes sneak in some “medicinal substances” every once in awhile
Lilo Raines
Nationality: United States
Birthday and Age: May 13th, 23 years old
Profile:
Originally much of a racing driver, Lilo cut her teeth in the extreme sports world surfing in her native Hawaii. Her style of do-first-think-later led to her falling into many near death experiences, and a career ending accident ensured she wouldn't be on the professional surfing scene any longer.
Evan after that she was determined to keep active in any way possible, globetrotting the world in search of the next act. That led her to a club racing event where Evan Jameson just happened to be competing. After an hour of uncontrolled ramblings from the two of them she was on the team for the 2020 season. After a year of getting up to speed, Lilo is looking to back up Akoni is what is the effectively the development entry for JRA in what will be both of their endurance racing debut.
RP Notes:
-Evan's best friend due to their mutual unhingedness
-Always finding new and improved ways to break herself
-Loud, very loud
Didier Wieth
Nationality: Germany
Birthday and Age: August 3rd, 39 years old
Profile:
Didier Wieth was an upcoming driver during the 2000's, touted as one of the future stars of the racing world. But after two lackluster seasons at a crucial time of his career he fell off the radar of most teams and faded into obscurity. He spent most of his time driving other people's cars in exhibition and classic events, becoming a fan favorite for his aggressive driving style in those cars.
At one event he ran into Evan Jameson, and despite Evan's odd qualities the two hit off quite well. Deciding the team could use a more mature touch, Evan decided to add him to the team for his expanded 2 car lineup. After a successful season in Aeternam Euro Series with co-driver Jason Oakley, Didier will continue to lead the team as the most reliable member for their endurance debut.
RP Notes:
-Generally the voice of reason within the team
-Doesn't show it, but has a kind of short fuse for stupidity
-Really good cook
