Alexander Jacoby (born 27 May 2009) is a Brazilian and American racing driver who competes in the European Le Mans Series and the Le Mans Cup for CLX Motorsport.
Jacoby is a member of A14 Management, overseen by two-time Formula One world champion Fernando Alonso.[1][2]
Personal life
[edit]Jacoby was born in Washington, D.C. in 2009, but grew up in Sweden and Singapore before moving back stateside in 2017.[3][4] His father Stefan is a German businessman, who served as the CEO of Mitsubishi Motors Europe from 2001 to 2004,[5] Volkswagen America from 2007 to 2010,[6] Volvo from 2010 to 2012, and has been working for General Motors as its vice president for international operations since 2013.[7][8] His mother Roberta is from Brazil.[9]
Jacoby holds Brazilian, American and German passports.[3]
Career
[edit]Jacoby discovered karting in 2017 while living in Singapore,[4] started his competitive career in 2019 and remained in the discipline until 2023.[10] Starting out in micro karts, Jacoby won the 2020 Rotax Stars & Stripes Trophy Series,[11] before finishing runner-up in the 2021 Rotax US Trophy Series East Mini standings and earning himself an invitation to the RMC Grand Finals.[12] Moving up to junior karts for the following two seasons, Jacoby clinched runner-up honours in the 2022 US Eastern Rotax Championship,[13] as well as finishing ninth in the following year's SKUSA SuperNationals in X30 Junior.[3]
After an extensive testing programme with GRS Team starting from November 2023,[14] Jacoby stepped up to the F4 Spanish Championship with the team in 2024, but was forced to miss the first round as he was yet to turn 15.[15] In the remaining six rounds, Jacoby scored a best result of 19th in race two at Algarve as he ended the year 40th in the overall standings.[16] Towards the end of the year, Jacoby also made a one-off appearance in the F4 Brazilian Championship for Oakberry Bassani F4 at the Interlagos finale,[17] in which he scored a best result of tenth in race two.[18] In 2025, Jacoby joined Monlau Motorsport to compete in both the Eurocup-4 Spanish Winter Championship and the F4 Spanish Championship.[19][20] In the former, Jacoby scored a best result of 12th at Jerez to take 23rd in points,[21][22] whereas in the main season, he took a best result of 14th at Le Castellet and Valencia to end the season 30th overall.[23][24]
In late 2025, Jacoby began testing LMP3 machinery for CLX Motorsport,[25] ahead of his endurance debut in the 2025–26 Asian Le Mans Series, where he drove alongside Paul Lanchère and Kévin Rabin.[26] In the six-race season, Jacoby took wins at Sepang and Abu Dhabi en route to the LMP3 title, despite retiring in the finale.[27][28][29] Continuing with CLX for the rest of 2026, Jacoby raced in the European Le Mans Series and Le Mans Cup.[30][31] Paired up with Lanchère and Bruno Ribeiro in ELMS, Jacoby had a quiet start to the season, before Louis Iglesias replaced Ribeiro and led them to victory at Imola and Spa, the latter following a disqualification for Rinaldi Racing.[32][33]
