Jann Mardenborough (born 9 September 1991) is a British racing driver. In 2013 he is racing in the FIA European Formula Three Championship.

He was born in Darlington.[1]

Career

Unlike most racing drivers Mardenborough has no longtime karting experience. At the age of eight he began kart racing in his hometown Cardiff. When he was eleven years old the local track was closed. His family did not have the budget to continue his racing career so he had to stop competing in karts.[2]

In 2011 Mardenborough participated in the GT Academy. This is a competition sponsored by Nissan and Sony. The entrants initially compete through racing on the Gran Turismo series of PlayStation driving games. The winner earns the chance to become a professional racing driver. Mardenborough beat 90,000 other entrants and won the competition in 2011.[3] The prize for this victory was a drive with Nissan at the Dubai 24 Hour. He scored the third place in his class.[1] In 2012 Mardenborough competed in the British GT Championship. Together with Alex Buncombe he won a race and ended the season in sixth place in the GT3 championship. Moreover he took part in four rounds of the Blancpain Endurance Series.

In 2013 Mardenborough switched to formula racing.[4] At the beginning of the year Mardenborough started in the 2013 season of the Toyota Racing Series in New Zealand. He was the best placed rookie and finished the season in the tenth place in the championship. After that he returned to Europe and secured a seat with Carlin Motorsport in the 2013 campaign of the FIA European Formula Three Championship.,[5] as well as the British Formula Three Championship.[6] After one season in F3 Mardenborough joined Arden International to compete in the 2014 GP3 Series season, and was also signed by the Red Bull Junior Team driver development programme.[7]

Personal life

Jann Mardenborough's father Steve Mardenborough is a former English football player.[1][2]
