Jackson's 2013 Porsche Boxster

Racing at 24 Hours of Le Mans is a dream of Jackson's.[3] At Autosport International 2013, she launched Project Le Mans, her four-year plan of competing in the endurance race.[7] This plan involves winning the British Racing and Sports Car Club (BRSCC) Porsche Production Boxster class championship 2013, which she subsequently won, out of the four drivers in her class. In 2014, year 2, Jackson planned on competing in the higher Race Spec Porsche Boxster class and in year 3, the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup Challenge. The plan for 2016, the final year of the project is to be racing in the Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain and 24 Hours of Le Mans.[16][17]

Jackson debuted in 2011 in the BRSCC Porsche Championship with Porsche Racing Drivers Association without prior experience of rear wheel drive racing in a 35-year-old white Porsche 924 and finished 8th of 16.[15]

Racing in the Porsche 924 class for the second season, Jackson finished 4th of 20.[15]

Race event 2 at Snetterton is where Jackson achieved her first race track win.[16]

For the 2013 season, Jackson progressed to the Porsche Production Boxster class, driving a red Porsche Boxster S.[17] She won the class by a large margin with 201 points, where there were 4 in class, coming 19th overall.[18]

Jackson joined ex-BRSCC Porsche racer Mike Sellar to co-drive his 997 Cup in the GTB class of the 2015 season of Porsche GT Cup.

On 9–10 June 2015 Jackson and fellow Telegraph motoring correspondent Andrew Frankel set a new Guinness World Record for the highest number of countries visited by car using a single tank of fuel in an Audi A6: the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, Germany, Slovenia, Italy, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Hungary.
