Jaroslav Janiš (born 8 July 1983 in Olomouc, Olomouc Region, Czechoslovakia) is a Czech racing driver, who competed in the 2004 DMSB Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters Championship, driving for Team Rosberg.[1] Better known by the name "Jarek", Janiš would spend his sole DTM season at the wheel of a year-old AMG-Mercedes CLK-DTM, finishing 21st in the Championship.[2]
Background[]
Janiš would start his career in karting, competing in various competitions until stepping up to single-seaters in 1999, joining the Formula Ford Germany Championship.[2] Finishing seventh, Janiš would improve to the runner-up spot in the 2000 edition of the FF Germany series, before ending the season with a run to third in the Formula Palmer Audi Winter Series.[2] That season would also see Janiš claim fourth in the European FF Championship, as well as fifth in the French FF Series.[2]
Formula Fortunes: 2001 - 2003[]
His success in 2000 saw Janiš emerge as the leading Czech talent on the international motorsport scene, leading Prost to hand Janiš a test in a Formula One car in 2001.[2] That campaign also saw Janiš move into the Formula 3 Germany series, while also racing in the Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup and FIA GT NGT.[2] 2002 saw Janiš claim third in the European F3000 Championship, earning him a seat as a test driver for Jordan in F1 for 2003.[2]
2003 would also see Janiš move into the International F3000 Championship after the merger with the European edition, finishing eighth, while also competing in three rounds of the FIA GT series.[2]
DTM History[]
Janiš would sign up to the 2004 DMSB Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters Championship with Sonax Dark Dog AMG-Mercedes, partnering Bernd Mayländer for the campaign.[1]
Post-DTM Career[]
After leaving the DTM Janiš would make his debut in Champ Car at the end of 2004, before returning to F3000 in F3000 Italy.[2] Janiš would also debut in the Formula Nippon Championship, while also making three appearances in the Le Mans Series.[2] FIA GT and the F3000 International Masters would occupy Janiš' attentions in 2006, finishing third in the latter, with Janiš also set to represent Team Czech Republic in the A1 Grand Prix Series.[2]
GT Graces: 2007 - 2017[]
Janiš moved into GT racing full time in 2007, with the Czech racer signed by Spyker Squadron for a campaign in the Le Mans Series in the GT2 class, leading to him making his debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.[2] Stepping away from racing in 2008, Janiš returned to complete a run to third in the Pro class of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo, while also returning to Spyker Squadron to finish fifth in class in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.[2] Further seasons in the Super Trofeo followed for Janiš in 2010 and 2011, with 2011 also seeing Janiš move into GT3 racing in the FIA GT3 European Championship.[2]
After another season long break Janiš would return to make two appearances in the FIA GT Series with Mercedes, although his racing career was coming to an end.[2] 2014 saw Janiš make two appearances in Super Trofeo, before two more outings in GT3 in 2015 and 2017 at the Dubai 24 Hours.[2]
