In 2012, Jann debuted at the Dubai 24 Hours, where he secured a commendable third place in his class, proving that his talent extended far beyond the virtual world. He quickly progressed, competing in the British GT3 series and achieving race victories while making a splash in Japanese Formula 3 with several pole positions and podium finishes. By 2013, he participated in the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans, finishing third in the LMP2 class. His rapid ascent and adaptability earned him respect on the international racing stage, allowing him to make significant contributions to Japan’s highly competitive Super GT and Super Formula series.
However, Jann's journey hasn't been without its challenges. One of the most difficult experiences occurred in 2015 at the Nürburgring during a GT3 race when a tragic accident resulted in a spectator's death. Although Jann emerged physically unscathed, the incident profoundly impacted him, marking a pivotal moment in his life and career.
Jann has been a simulator and development driver for Nissan and the McLaren Formula E teams outside of racing. He also mentors aspiring drivers, blending his digital expertise with his innate racing talent. As a keynote speaker, Jann will inspire and engage with all generations, demonstrating that even the most unconventional paths can lead to extraordinary destinations.
