In 2014, Jahn joined Callaway-affiliated RWT Racing for his maiden full season in ADAC GT Masters alongside Sven Barth.[5] Racing in all but one rounds, the pair scored their first podium at Slovakia Ring by finishing third in race one,[6] before then scoring their only win of the season at the Nürburgring in race one en route to a 17th-place points finish.[7] During 2014, Jahn also drove for RWT in the final round of the GT Sprint Series in Baku.[8]

Jahn won the 2015 24 Hours of Nürburgring in SP-X for Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus.

After only racing at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring in 2015 for Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus,[9] Jahn joined Porsche-fielding KÜS Team75 Bernhard in 2016 for his sophomore season in ADAC GT Masters.[10] Partnering a number of drivers including Kévin Estre, Jahn scored victory at the Red Bull Ring,[11] then won at the Nürburgring and Zandvoort,[12][13] and ended the season with another win at Hockenheimring to secure runner-up honours in points.[14] During 2016, Jahn also made a one-off appearance in the Le Castellet round of the European Le Mans Series in the GTE class for Proton Competition.[15]

Having only made one-off appearances in Porsche Carrera Cup cars for two years,[16] Jahn returned to RWT Racing's Corvette for the 2019 ADAC GT Masters season.[17] In his reunion with Sven Barth, Jahn scored podiums at Most and Red Bull Ring as he ended the year seventh in points.[18][19] Returning to KÜS Team75 Bernhard for the 2020 season,[20] Jahn guided rookie Jannes Fittje to a best result of fourth twice and finished the season 17th in the overall standings.[21] Switching to fellow Porsche customer Team Joos Sportwagentechnik for 2021,[22] Jahn scored a best result of sixth twice en route to a 15th-place points finish at season's end.[23]

Jahn then joined W&S Motorsport to race in the new-for-2022 Porsche Endurance Trophy Nürburgring.[24] Competing in the last six races of the season, Jahn took five class wins and helped the team secure the Cup2 title at season's end.[25] Remaining with W&S Motorsport for 2023, Jahn joined Jannes Fittje to compete in ADAC GT4 Germany.[26] In his only season in the series, Jahn won at Zandvoort and Hockenheimring as well as taking three more podiums to end the year third in points.[27][28] Continuing with W&S Motorsport for 2024, Jahn returned to Porsche Endurance Trophy Nürburgring's Cup2 class full-time, in which he scored two class wins and finished runner-up in points.[29] Staying in the series for 2025 but switching to Mühlner Motorsport, Jahn won all but three races to secure the Cup2 Pro title at the end of the year.[30]
