Early life
editBorn inBurwell, Cambridgeshire,he was educated atKing's Ely.[4]
Early career
editJarvis was first introduced to motorsport from an early age when his father Carl was competing inFormula Ford1600. Keen to try it for himself, and at just six years old, Jarvis enjoyed his first motocross competition, albeit then two wheels not four.
At the age of eight, Jarvis made the transition to race karts. During his 10 years in karts, he achieved notable success in British and European events, as well as in World Karting as one of Tony Kart's Works driver.
Jarvis moved from European Karting when he was 18 to the highly competitive British single seater car championships racing in theFormula Fordcategory for two successful seasons before moving up toFormula Renault.
2005 proved to be an outstanding year of achievements for Jarvis when he became the 2005Formula Renault UKChampion having gained 5 wins, 7 podiums, 4 pole positions and 3 ELF /Atol Driver of the Day Awards. He was also awardedBRDCRising Starstatus.
Jarvis's perfect end to the year was receiving the prestigiousMcLaren Autosport Young Driver of The Year Awardthat December, presented to him byFormula OnelegendSir Stirling Moss.
2006 saw Jarvis move up to theBritish F3 International Series,racing for the famousCarlin Motorsportteam, run byTrevor Carlin.Jarvis was an instant success, and won two races, beatingBruno Senna(nephew of the lateAyrton) to 2nd in the standings. He went on to dominate the end of seasonMacau F3 Grand Prixin 2007, leading every lap and looking unchallenged throughout to take the biggest victory of his career.[5]
Jarvis was added to the roster forA1 Team Great BritaininA1 Grand Prix,and may get a chance to race often in2006-07 season,should he impress more thanDarren ManningandRobbie Kerr,or should the two be unavailable for any reason.
Jarvis did get his first chance at theBeijing International Streetcircuitin China,the third race weekend of the season.Through a problematic weekend, where problems with the track arose, Jarvis started theSprint racein 8th, and finished in 7th in a race that saw little racing, following 7th-startingSouth Africaspinning, bringing out the Safety Car for a majority of the race. In theFeature race,Jarvis therefore started 7th. After controversially making his mandatory pitstop on the lap the Safety Car was deployed (A1GP rules state that cars cannot pit during Safety Car periods), Jarvis ended up running 8th for a majority of the race, an 8th that was actually a net 4th, given the cars in the first four places were yet to pit. After they did, Jarvis moved up to fourth, and looked to be heading for that position, until the leading duo,The NetherlandsdriverJeroen BleekemolenandGermany'sNico Hülkenbergboth retired on the same lap, leaving Jarvis to finish second, behindItaly'sEnrico Toccacelo.
Jarvis' next outing was at theMexicoround. This time Jarvis went one better, winning theFeature raceforGreat Britain's first ever A1 Grand Prix victory.
DTM career
editIn 2008, Jarvis progressed to theDeutsche Tourenwagen Masters,racing forTeam Phoenixin anAudi A4 DTM 2007.Having finished in the points twice, the Briton ended up 13th in the standings.
The following year,Team Phoenixretained Jarvis in theDTM,where he would partnerAlexandre Prémat.[6]A much improved campaign followed, where two podiums, including second atZandvoort,where he scored his first pole position in the category, elevated Jarvis to ninth overall.
Switching toAbt Sportslinefor the2010 season,five results inside the top six meant that Jarvis would finish ninth in the standings once again.[7]
In 2011, the Brit remained in theDTMatAbt Sportsline.[8]Despite taking a podium finish atSpielberg,Jarvis ended the season sitting tenth in the championship.
He would not be retained byAudifor the2012 DTM season.[9]
Sportscar career
editDuring thePokka 1000kmin Suzuka, Jarvis won the race partnering withJuichi WakisakaandAndré Lottererdespite not having to drive throughout the race.[10]
Javis would transition to theFIA GT1 World Championshipin 2012, driving alongsideFrank StipplerforTeam WRT.[11]With five podiums across the season, the pairing finished eighth overall. He also competed in that year's24 Hours of Le Mansfor Audi.[12]
In 2013, Jarvis raced forAlex Job Racingwith anAudi R8 Grand-Amin the24 Hours of Daytona.He won the class. He also won the2013 12 Hours of Sebringand came third at the2013 24 Hours of Le Mansin anAudi R18 e-tron quattro.[13]
When Audi pulled out of WEC, he signed a contract to race in theBlancpain GT Series Endurance CupforBentleyduring 2017. He also raced in the WEC under Jackie Chan DC Racing in LMP2. This led to him getting a class victory at Le Mans 24 Hours and second overall. They went on to score second in the championship standings.
For 2018, he will be racing in theIMSA SportsCar ChampionshipforMazda Team Joest.
Jarvis teamed up withTom BlomqvistatMeyer Shank Racingw/Curb-Agajanianin theIMSA SportsCar Championshipfor the 2022 season. The pair would end up winning the title, having taken a pair of victories, including one at the24 Hours of Daytona.[14]
