Over the next seven years, Jans mainly raced in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie,[11] most notably winning the SP9 Pro-Am title in 2019 for Phoenix Racing,[12] and raced in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring four times, finishing no higher than seventh in class.[13]
In 2022, Jans made his full-time return to racing by joining GetSpeed Performance to race in International GT Open alongside Sébastien Baud.[14] Racing in the Pro class for all but two rounds, the pair scored overall podiums at the Red Bull Ring, Monza and Barcelona to end the year fourth in the overall standings.[15] Remaining with GetSpeed Performance for 2023, Jans joined Axel Blom for his sophomore season in International GT Open.[16] Racing in the Pro-Am class, Jans took his maiden class win at Monza and scored four more podiums to end the year third in points.[17]
The following year, Jans mainly competed in the Porsche Endurance Trophy Nürburgring Cup for Black Falcon and also returning to the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, in which he finished 10th in the Cup2 Pro class.[18] During the year, Jans also returned to GetSpeed Performance for a one-off appearance in the Le Mans Cup alongside Anthony Bartone,[19] and returned with them to contest the 2024–25 Asian Le Mans Series in the GT class.[20]
For the rest of 2025, Jans joined Aaron Walker to race for GetSpeed in the Pro-Am class of International GT Open.[21] In his third season in the series, Jans scored class wins at Spa,[22] Hockenheimring,[23] Hungaroring and Barcelona to claim runner-up spots in the Pro-Am class at season's end.[24][25] During 2025, Jans raced with the team in a one-off appearance in the 24 Hours of Le Mans-supporting round of the Le Mans Cup, in which he and co-driver Anthony Bartone won race one,[26] and also finished second in the Pro-Am class at the Suzuka 1000 km alongside Philip Ellis and Anthony McIntosh.[27]
Jans remained with GetSpeed Performance to contest the 2025–26 Asian Le Mans Series,[28] albeit only taking part in the UAE-based rounds due to family-related matters forcing him to be replaced by Shigekazu Wakisaka for the season-opening Sepang round.[29]
