Open Wheel Racing

F2000

Jamin made his professional debut in the 2014 U.S. F2000 National Championship with Belardi Auto Racing and Pabst Racing Services. He returned in 2015 in the U.S. F2000 National Championship with Cape Motorsports Wayne Taylor Racing. He then won ten of the fifteen races in the 2015 season on his way to the title. He finished on the podium in every race except one, earning an automatic promotion to the Pro Mazda Championship in 2016.[1]

Pro Mazda

Jamin scored two wins and six podiums in his debut season in the Pro Mazda Championship, finishing third in the standings. After being scouted by Andretti Autosport during an end of season test, he was signed to drive in the Indy Lights championship for them in 2017.

Indy Lights

Jamin joined Andretti Autosport for the 2017 Indy Lights season and recorded his first win in April at Barber Motorsports Park.

Sports Car Racing

Jamin joined ANSA Motorsports in 2017 for his first LMP3 experience in the IMSA Prototype Challenge series (formerly IMSA Lites), where he won both races of his debut weekend at Sebring International Raceway.[2]

Jamin made his first-ever Pirelli World Challenge start in 2017 at Virginia International Raceway where he swept the weekend, winning both races in the GTS class, driving a KTM X-Bow GT4 for ANSA Motorsports.[3] After previously appearing for AKKA ASP Team in the GT World Challenge Europe in 2018, Jamin returned to the series in 2023, taking part in a Bronze Cup entry for AGS Events alongside Antonin Borga and Leonardo Gorini.[4]
