Jari joined [[Fusion Motorsports|Fusion]] in 2015, who had just set up their fledgling [[RoLFS]] operation with [[Diego Álvarez Torrente]] as their first driver. Lappalainen became the tester, but team manager Jake Legge wished to put him in the car halfway through the season. However, Donkervoort were looking for a driver for their [[F1 Rejects Development Series|F1RDS]] operation, and so a deal was agreed to loan Lappalainen to them. He lined up alongside Brazilian Jalmerson da Cunha.

Jari Lappalainen (born 24th May 1997 in Jyväskylä, Finland) is a Finnish racing driver currently racing for ICE-3 Racing in AR3.5.


Personal and early life

Lappalainen was born in Jyväskylä in southern Finland. His mother was a primary school teacher, and his father worked in insurance. He was named after Finnish football player Jari Litmanen. His older brother Joonas manages Jari's racing career.


Early racing history

Jari began karting aged 8, and won various championships in Scandinavia. He then moved to Towcester in England to take part in the British Formula Ford Championship. Whilst living here, he was in close proximity to Silverstone and spent a vast period of time testing on the circuit. He impressed many former racers with his tenacity and technical feedback, and joined a tight championship battle. This brought him to the attention of Fusion Motorsports.


F1RDS

Jari joined Fusion in 2015, who had just set up their fledgling RoLFS operation with Diego Álvarez Torrente as their first driver. Lappalainen became the tester, but team manager Jake Legge wished to put him in the car halfway through the season. However, Donkervoort were looking for a driver for their F1RDS operation, and so a deal was agreed to loan Lappalainen to them. He lined up alongside Brazilian Jalmerson da Cunha.

After a tough season where the Donkervoort could not make the best of the Toyota's advantage in race trim, Lappalainen finished 16th in the championship, albeit managing one win. He moved to Definitely Maybe Racing for 2016, in hope of further race victories. Lappalainen ended up carrying the team due to Angel Jose Castañeda's poor performances, but the Finn was unable to win again.

AR3.5

Instead of staying in the newly renamed AutoReject 2.0 series for a third year, Lappalainen moved up to De Friis Motorsport's AR3.5 team for 2017. After some mid-table results, Jari joined ICE-3 Racing for 2018.
