==Career==

=== Early career (1993–2001) === Between 1993 and 2001, McWilliams rode in the 250cc and 500cc classes. He took two podiums in the 500cc class in 2000, at the Italian GP and the British GP. The following year he won the 250cc race in the Netherlands aboard an Aprilia.<ref>{{cite news|title=McWilliams wins 250cc GP|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/northern_ireland/1415443.stm|access-date=16 October 2017|work=BBC Sport|agency=BBC News|date=30 June 2001}}</ref>

=== MotoGP and British Superbikes (2002–2007) === In 2002 and 2003, McWilliams rode for Kenny Roberts' Team KR in MotoGP aboard the Proton KR bike.<ref>{{cite web|title=Jeremy McWilliams – IMDb|url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4835245/|website=IMDb|access-date=16 October 2017}}</ref> In a surprising performance, he took pole position at the 2002 Australian GP, riding a three-cylinder two-stroke bike against the much more competitive four strokes. His best race result over these two years was 6th at the 2003 French GP{{citation needed|date=June 2020}}.

In 2004, he rode the much-maligned Aprilia RS Cube in MotoGP, alongside Shane Byrne.<ref>{{cite news|title=McWilliams signs with Aprilia|url=http://www.motorcyclenews.com/sport/motogp/2003/december/mcwilliams-signs-with-aprilia/|access-date=17 October 2017|work=MCN|date=2 December 2003}}</ref> His best finish was 12th place, which he achieved three times, amidst a season where he was frequently hurt due to the vicious nature of the bike. He later claimed to have experienced broken ribs and a dislocated collarbone, amongst other injuries, during that season.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Trev |date=2016-01-20 |title=Jeremy McWilliams talks to Trevor Hedge about his racing career, his motorcycle development association with KTM, the Island Classic and many other topics |url=https://www.mcnews.com.au/jeremy-mcwilliams-interview/ |access-date=2022-11-24 |website=MCNews |language=en-GB}}</ref>

For 2005, McWilliams was contracted to return to the Kenny Roberts KR team, who would be receiving engine support from KTM. However, Dorna stepped in later and revoked the contract on the insistence that Shane Byrne be given the ride.<ref name=":0" /> This came as a huge disappointment to McWilliams, leaving him scrambling to find a ride late into the off-season.

Instead, McWillilams spent 2005 racing in the British Superbike Championship on a Honda, but finished outside the top 10 in the end of year standings, partly due to a shoulder injury suffered during the season.

Later in the year, McWilliams did get a chance to fulfill his initial plans of riding the for Team Roberts in MotoGP. KTM withdrew their support for the team one day before the Czech grand prix at Brno, refusing to supply engines.<ref>{{Cite web |last=newspaper |date=2005-08-12 |title=KTM Will No Longer Supply MotoGP Engines To Team Roberts |url=https://www.roadracingworld.com/news/ktm-will-no-longer-supply-motogp-engines-to-team-roberts/ |access-date=2022-11-25 |website=Roadracing World Magazine {{!}} Motorcycle Riding, Racing & Tech News |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2005-08-23 |title=Roberts in the dark as KTM cuts the power |url=https://www.smh.com.au/sport/motorsport/roberts-in-the-dark-as-ktm-cuts-the-power-20050823-gdlxef.html |access-date=2022-11-25 |website=The Sydney Morning Herald |language=en}}</ref> This left the team in a difficult situation, as they were contractually obliged to fill their position on the grid, but had no engines to use. Furthermore, the team's sole rider, Shane Byrne, was technically contracted to KTM and unable to ride any other bike, leaving Byrne unable to compete and Team Roberts with no rider.

With less than 24 hours notice, McWilliams found himself competing at Brno in the Czech Republic, racing on the Team Roberts Proton V5 bike the team used in 2004.<ref>{{cite news|title=Brilliant Rossi claims Czech GP|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/motorbikes/4188864.stm|access-date=16 October 2017|agency=BBC Sport|date=28 August 2005}}</ref> The weekend started promisingly, as McWilliams immediately started posting lap times as much as 1.5 seconds quicker than what the bike had posted the previous year. However, McWilliams ended up being forced to retire from the race due to an engine sensor failure, causing the throttle to stick open.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Sports |first=Dorna |title=McWilliams on his comeback with Team Roberts {{!}} MotoGP™ |url=https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2005/08/29/mcwilliams-on-his-comeback-with-team-roberts/139143 |access-date=2022-11-25 |website=www.motogp.com |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Sports |first=Dorna |title=Mixed feelings for Mc Williams on his MotoGP return {{!}} MotoGP™ |url=https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2005/09/07/mixed-feelings-for-mc-williams-on-his-motogp-return/139189 |access-date=2022-11-25 |website=www.motogp.com |language=en}}</ref>

Following the race, McWilliams expressed interest in competing in the rest of the season. Team Roberts subsequently announced that they would not be able to make it to the flyaway races due to their sudden loss of funds from the now terminated KTM deal, but hoped to show at the season-ending race in Valencia with McWilliams.<ref name=":1" /> For reasons unknown, the team and McWilliams failed to show.

For 2007, McWilliams was contracted to race in the MotoGP series for the newly founded Ilmor team,<ref>{{cite news|title=McWilliams confirms MotoGP return|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/motorbikes/6191717.stm|website=BBC Sport|date=19 December 2006 |publisher=BBC|access-date=29 August 2014}}</ref> despite a heavy crash in testing in late 2006.<ref>{{cite news|title=McWilliams hurt in MotoGP crash|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/motorbikes/6196984.stm|website=BBC Sport|date=30 November 2006 |publisher=BBC|access-date=29 August 2014}}</ref> He had to miss the first race of the season in Qatar, due to another crash, near the end of the Losail International Circuit. After this round the team suspended its racing operations and did not return{{citation needed|date=June 2020}}.

=== Later years (2012–present) === In 2012, McWilliams participated in the North West 200 races, where he scored a second place in the Super-Twin event{{citation needed|date=June 2020}}. Riding for the KMR Racing Team, McWilliams finished second behind his fellow Irishman, Ryan Farquhar. Aged 62, he won the Supertwin/Sportbike race on a Yamaha at the 2026 event, his fourth victory at the North West 200.

In 2013, McWilliams had a supporting role in the film ''Under the Skin'', starring Scarlett Johansson.<ref>{{cite news|last1=McCann|first1=Nuala|title=McWilliams is 'bad man on mission for Scarlett Johansson'|work=BBC News |date=20 March 2014 |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-26660354|access-date=29 August 2014}}</ref>

In 2014, McWilliams returned to Grand Prix racing at the age of 50 for a one-off wildcard ride in the Moto2 series at the British Grand Prix held at Silverstone.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Emmett|first1=David|title=50-Year-Old Jeremy McWilliams To Race Brough Superior In Moto2 At Silverstone|url=https://motomatters.com/news/2014/08/22/50_year_old_jeremy_mcwilliams_to_race_br.html|date=22 August 2014|access-date=16 October 2017}}</ref> He finished in 29th place aboard a machine with American origins entered as Brough Superior, using the controlled-standard 600 cc four-cylinder Honda engine.<ref>[https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/208143/1/moto2-mcwilliams-reviews-day-one-on-brough-superior Moto2 Silverstone: McWilliams reviews day one on Brough Superior] crash.net, 29 August 2014.
