Jacob Kard

Jacob Kard is a Canadian racing driver from Windsor, Ontario. He competed in TM Lights from 2011-2013, making occasional starts in the TM Master Cup series. At the 2013 Round of Queensland, Kard was selected by Volpi Racing Team as a one-race substitute for the suspended Packer Carroll, and turned this opportunity into an upset victory.

Kard would then be signed to drive full-time for the new Lenard International team in 2014, but his season was plagued by misfortune. During qualifying for the Karjala Grand Prix, he had an accident with Scott Falkner, with some reports suggested Kard behaved strangely afterwards. He would be plagued by illness on race day, but managed to make his way to second until his #6 Lenard burst into flames, leading to hospitalization. Paul Lyons would substitute for the remainder of the European tour.

Kard returned to the seat for the midseason North American leg, with a best finish of third at Darlington, but his season would be cut short for good before the Round of Brazil. Kard suffered broken bones in both legs and concussion symptoms after a highway accident on his way to O'Hare Airport outside Chicago. Cameron Taylor would take over the #6 for the remainder of the year, and his impressive speed has kept him in the seat ever since, with Kard now serving as Lenard International's third driver.

In 2018, Kard entered the FARC Lowe Dollar Series in an attempt to rejuvenate his career, driving on a limited schedule for Team Thunder along with former champion Ryan Matthews and rookie Daniel Sharp. Despite Team Thunder's connections to Saar and Tonare, it was announced by the end of the season that Kard will compete full time for the team in 2019, while remaining Lenard International's third driver.
