Jamez Shepherd is an Australian sim-racer who currently drives for CSG Racing in the Supercup. He is also the test and reserve driver for Midnight Motorsport in the Superleague. Shepherd finished fourth in the 2012 Superleague season, despite only starting eleven races. The 2012 season saw the Australian dabble in multiple GPVWC series. The year also saw him buy out the ownership of the Red 5 Racing Superleague team (before folding the team two races later) and eventually starting his own operation, SimInk Motorsports.

Early Sim-Racing Career

Shepherd starting his sim-racing career in 1997 with Formula One '97 on the PlayStation platform. He developed his skills in the Gran Turismo, TOCA Touring Cars, Formula 1, and Colin McRae Rally series' before making the move to PC racing with LiveForSpeed.

Superleague

2012

In April, 2012, Shepherd was announced at Midnight Motorsport as second reserve, replacing Simon Melhuish. June saw Shepherd buy out what was left of the Red 5 Racing outfit, scoring third and fourth place finishes in the team's first two races under new management, before retiring the team from the league to pursue an offer at Hawkeye Racing in July. Shepherd would finish the season in fourth place, helping elevate Hawkeye to third in the constructors, jumping both Nordsjoen Racing and Red Archer in a nail-biting finish to the season in Singapore.

2013

Midnight Motorsport announced in late November that he would be returning to the Midnight Motorsport's fold in an undisclosed capacity. It was later revealed that Shepherd would be the team's test and reserve driver, dovetailing these duties with a full campaign in the Supercup for CSG Racing.

Supercup

2012

Shepherd joined Halcyon Racing in mid-April replacing an AWOL Sam Millar. Despite claiming pole on début for the team in Hungary, Shepherd struggled to find his feet with the Supercup car and only managed two points finishes before leaving the team to pursue a Superleague career. In September Shepherd was announced at CSG Racing as reserve and emergency second driver for the team in a bid to take the fight to Torrent Motorsports for the constructors title. Shepherd would go on to claim his first Supercup win with the team at the United States Grand Prix, along with two pole positions, and two podium finishes from three races.

2013

In December, CSG Racing announced Shepherd as their lead driver, in the number 0 car, alongside Roy Schroten for the 2013 Supercup campaign.

Formula Challenge

2012

Shepherd started his GPVWC racing career this season in Formula Challenge for Midnight Motorsport at the Italian Grand Prix (before moving to a Supercup seat at Halcyon Racing). He would later return for two rounds as a reserve driver at Wicked Fox Racing scoring the team's first win at the US Grand Prix.

World Sport Series
