Jonathan Adam (born 4 September 1984 in Kirkcaldy, Fife) is a British racing driver. He was the champion of the SEAT Cupra Championship in two of its six seasons – winning in 2007 and in 2008. He also won the 2005 Elf Renault Clio Cup. He competed in the British Touring Car Championship in 2009 and currently competes in the British GT Championship, winning the 2015 championship.
Adam began his career in karting, winning the 1999 Scottish Kart TKM challenge, and he finished 5th overall in the British Kart Championship (100 National) in 2002, and also went on to win the "Summerlee" championship at Larkhall.
In 2003, Jonathan finished 3rd overall in the Scottish Formula Ford Zetec Championship, however he was 2nd and 5pts behind Ryan Cannon in the Newcomer's Cup.
Adam moved into the Renault Clio Cup in 2004, and after a season long battle with Ed Pead and Paul Rivett, it was the latter who took the title after Adam failed to finish in the penultimate race at Donington Park. Jonathan eventually finished 3rd in the championship.
Adam then took 4 podiums, including a win, to become the Clio Cup Winter series champion.
2005 saw him resume his battle with Pead in the Clios, which took the championship down to the final meeting of the year at Donington Park, where Adam clinched it with a race to spare.
Jonathan competed in another one-makes series in 2006, this time the SEAT Cupra Championship. He finished 3rd, in a competitive series with would-be 2007 BTCC driver Mat Jackson and Alan Blencowe finishing ahead of him in the standings.
In 2007, Adam continued in the championship, driving in the top Leon Cupra R class, and sealed the title with 3 races to go at his home circuit of Knockhill, taking 9 wins and 17 podium from the 20 races. He remains in the SEAT Cupra Championship for 2008. At Knockhill he took a double hat-trick – 2 poles, 2 victories, 2 fastest laps, although he remained 14 points behind championship leader Robert Lawson. He eventually won the championship for the second year in succession.
