The British racer spent two seasons in the Far East, one in 2007 in All-Japan Formula 3 with TOM’S, and a second in 2014 in SUPER GT with SARD. But both times, he was tempted back to Europe for the following season by Audi.
“I could have stayed in Formula 3 with TOM’S,” reveals Jarvis. “I had a really good offer, because the team had no seats in Formula Nippon. I had no GT500 option [in SUPER GT] but I had a good option in GT300, and I had a Formula Nippon option with Dandelion. Not helped by then-SARD chief engineer Yoshinari Suganuma “speaking absolutely zero English”, Jarvis and Ishiura finished as the bottom of five Bridgestone-shod Lexus crews in the standings in 11th place overall, with a best finish of fourth place in the opening round at Okayama.
“I was fully planning to stay with SARD; we had agreed everything and it was just a case of signing the contract,” admits Jarvis. “But I got the chance to go full-time in the WEC. But, he also believes it’s easier for the current generation to parlay success in Japan into top drives elsewhere than it was for those racing in the 2000s.“More recently, Japan has become more fashionable for European drivers thanks to [Stoffel] Vandoorne and [Pierre] Gasly, but the worry in my era was that you could be forgotten about,” explains Jarvis. “If you stayed here for five or six years, then there was no guarantee of coming back no matter how well you did.
