ABOUT JON EDWARDS
Jon Edwards of JEMS Race Engineering

Jon’s career started as an apprentice at a Rover V8 conversion specialist learning all about steel fabrication and built himself a spaceframe V8 2CV!

Building an engine and the importance of good preparation “engine etiquette” was learnt with Goodman building Metro 6R4 engines.

Car handling and set up skills were learnt on the job racing in the Vecta Ford Championship for 11 years and working for TVR’s racing division building TVR race cars and their engines from scratch. Taking feedback from the drivers and translating it into race winning cars was part of the job and it is a skill Jon uses on JEMS customer’s cars.

Jon’s experience is vast, he has worked for UK Touring Car teams, Australian Touring Cars and has also worked on Drag Racing cars, European GT cars (with the focus on endurance as well as power) and Historic race and rally cars. Jon also worked for Knight Racing Services, the top V8 tuning company.

Escort Wide Track System

Originally built for the Wealden Racing, Craig Rainer driven Escort, the system was divised to make the front and rear suspensions square and with the correct geometry. It meant completly redesigning the front end.

Reiger Suspension JEMS have produced the system as a kit for the Mk2 Escort. Using Reiger dampers the kits are custom produced to suit each car.
