Hello, I’m JC France, 3rd generation racer. Although racing is my main passion I love competing in anything. I played 4 sports in high school, football, weightlifting, wrestling and track.
I went on to win 2 state championships and a national championship in Olympic weightlifting. After that, I played semi-pro football. I love fishing, snorkeling, golf, and motorcycles.
My racing career started in BMX as a child, then I raced motorcycles (flat track, enduro, motocross). As you may know, my Grandfather built Daytona International Speedway. I have raced BMX, go-karts, and HSR (NASCAR CUP, Prototype) at Daytona.
The highlight of my career was the 10 years I raced for Brumos Porsche. My last Professional race was in 2012 but I returned to HSR with my brother-in-law and teammate Joaò Barbosa for many years. We won back 2 back 24 hr races together.
I’m married to Jennifer, the love of my life, we’ve been through thick and thin together. Nowadays I enjoy racing in all genres. I’m part owner of an IMSA team.
This summer we’re looking forward to attending the Goodwood Festival of Speed. It will be my 4th time driving the hill climb, previously in Brumos 59 Daytona Prototype, Porsche GT3RS and last year in Dale Earnhardt #3.
Hopefully, we’ll hit the Bahamas later this summer for fishing and snorkeling. I love living in Florida and enjoying all it has to offer.
Cheers
JC
