Jordan Cane

Born 2001, Sussex, UK

Jordan told his Mum and Dad he wanted to be a racing driver after visiting the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2012.

His Dad, encouraging his enthusiasm, took him to Thruxton race track to have a go. With no prior experience, Jordan sat at the wheel of a Honda Cadet kart for four training sessions. By the end of the fourth session he had broken the lap record. The instructor advised his Dad to get him into racing as soon as possible. Jordan won his first championship at Buckmore Park and immediately progressed into the Super One British Championship.

Jordan wanted to race cars and at the age of just 13 attended the Skip Barber School of Racing in the USA. On his first stay and first time ever in a car, Jordan was second fastest out of 24 classmates. On his second visit, he went fastest and from there his US racing journey began.

In May 2015 Jordan turned 14 years old and became the youngest professional racing driver in the world. He was now able to race in the US F1600 National Championship. Missing the first six races due to age restrictions, Jordan took the championship by storm, winning seven of the remaining 15 races and taking ten podiums.

Not only did he break the record number of wins in the series, he also became the youngest ever British racing driver to win in a single seater.

2016 was another year in the US. Still only 14, Jordan became the youngest ever driver on the podium in the Mazda Road to Indy USF2000 programme, at his first street-circuit weekend in St. Petersburg, Florida. Financial and mechanical issues within the team brought the season to an early close.

British F3 beckoned for 2017. At 15, Jordan could not compete until his birthday in May. Finally able to race at Snetterton in round three, he took an impressive pole and victory in race two with Douglas Motorsport. He won again at the same circuit in August and finished the season with another victory at Donington.

2018 arrived with Formula Renault 2.0 testing before Jordan returned to the BRDC British F3 Championship. Keep an eye on the news and social media platforms for updates.
