Jamie Klein is a former Motorsport.com Global News Editor and current freelance contributor. He took his first steps into motorsport journalism in 2013 as a freelancer before joining Motorsport Network full-time in 2015 as UK Editor. In 2016, he moved into a more wide-ranging role as he became a regular in the paddocks of the WEC and MotoGP. After a two-month trip to Japan in late 2018 gave him his first taste of reporting live on Super Formula and SUPER GT, he made the move to Tokyo permanently in 2019, and has been a regular presence in both paddocks since 2020. He left Motorsport.com in 2023 but continues to cover Japanese racing on a freelance basis. He can be found on X (formerly known as Twitter) at @JamieKlein_.
