Q&A with TeamWWF GB4 Champion Driver Jason Pribyl
As we wrap up the 2025 racing season, TeamWWF driver Jason Pribyl takes a few questions, offering insight into what it takes to be a racing champion.
What inspired you to become a driver? How did you get your start in racing?
Racing for me began as a way for my dad and me to spend time together. I was very into sports, and he never was, but we found common ground in cars when I was young. At this point, I’m not sure what initially got me into cars, but racing has been a part of my life for so long now that I can’t imagine what it’s like without it.
What are your long-term goals in racing?
My long-term goal is to make a living out of racing. I want to continue down the open-wheel path for as long as I can. Along with that, I have a few bucket list races that I want to take part in along my career path, and so far, I’m getting closer to them.
How do you handle setbacks or failures in a race?
In a race, you don’t have much choice but to accept any reality and focus on moving forward. For me, the moment I let my mind wander from winning a race is the moment I lose, and so until then I’m always fighting hard. Even if a race doesn’t go my way, there’s not much value in brooding over that fact, and what’s most important is that I have the ability to rectify any wrongdoings in the race after.
What is the most challenging aspect of being a driver?
Balancing life on and off the track is the biggest challenge for me. What drives me as a racer is simply the opportunity to race cars, and many of the surrounding aspects of being a driver are secondary. Still, they are important aspects of being a driver, and acknowledging that without those secondary aspects, I wouldn’t be able to race keeps me pushing hard off the track.
What is one quality or skill you believe is important to have as a driver?
Emotional maturity. For me, being in a race car should be one of the calmest moments of your life. Yes, it’s exciting to race, but often I like to acknowledge that after the race or away from the track. Being able to balance your emotions and bounce back from any shortcomings or bad luck is the best quality in a driver.
Why TeamWWF? How has this foundation impacted your career?
Team WWF has helped me develop off the track and work on the aspects of racing that I’m not an expert in. It’s a collaborative effort, and no one person can know it all, so between the team and the other drivers, we’re all able to work together to help each other out. They’re also instrumental in my brand and strategies, and without them, I would have either a drastically different brand or none at all.
