At age 16 he was the youngest driver in the world ever to compete in, and then win a Porsche Carrera Cup race. In 2010 he was awarded a coveted ?Porsche Motorsport Talent? Scholarship after winning a worldwide shootout of young drivers gunning for a career in GT and Prototype endurance racing with Porsche Motorsport GMBH. ?It?s a real honour to be invited to compete against the world?s fastest time attack cars in the Team RevolutioNZ Evo.? said Jono Lester. ?Time is of the essence, but we will be flying the Kiwi flag high and have a rigorous testing regime planned before we make the trip to the West Island!?
