The Jones 106 was an F3RWRS racing car designed by the Jones Racing Group for the 2015 F3RWRS season. In addition to Jones Racing themselves using the car, JLD Motorsport also signed a customer deal for the chassis, in return supplying the Jones team with their tuned BMW engines.

Following the successes of Jones Racing Group's 2014 104 car which finished runner-up in both the drivers' and teams' championships, the 106 was widely tipped to be one of the main challengers for the 2015 F3RWRS season. The car was powered by a BMW unit, which replaced the impressive Volkswagen engine which had been used the previous year. With the car being used by two teams as well, the additional data from the extra cars was hoped to provide better development for the car over the season.
