I’m Jensen Shearer — a 21-year-old racing driver from Melbourne. I’ve been behind the wheel since I was 6 years old. From grassroots karting to national-level Formula 3, racing has been my entire life. And now, I’m on the edge of the biggest step yet — a full season in the Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge in 2026.

This isn’t just a race series. It’s the start of a professional career in elite-level motorsport. Porsche Sprint Challenge is where drivers launch into Carrera Cup, GT racing, and international opportunities. But talent isn’t the only thing you need — you need backing.

And that’s where this campaign comes in.

I’m raising the funds to make this season a reality — not through wealthy investors or a rich family, but through a community-powered mission that brings supporters, sponsors, and fans along for the ride.

The total budget for the season is $550,000. That covers everything: purchasing the car, running with a top-tier team, logistics, tyres, testing, travel, and making sure I can show up with the best chance of winning. I’ve launched The Paddock Society as a platform for people to get involved — from individuals pledging a few hundred dollars, to companies coming on board as brand partners.

This is more than racing. It’s about showing what’s possible when someone refuses to quit — even when the odds say they should. I’ve already come further than most expected. But I’m not done.

I’ll be documenting the journey, creating content along the way, working with businesses to drive value, and bringing supporters closer to the sport than ever before — through track access, behind-the-scenes footage, giveaways, and more.

Whether you’re a motorsport fan, a brand, or just someone who believes in backing ambition — this is your invitation to join the journey.

Let’s get on the grid. And let’s do it together.
