Jordan King’s rapid rise through the ranks of motorsport began back in 2005, when he started karting on indoor tracks ‘just for a bit of fun’. The then 11-year-old soon got hooked, moving on to outdoor karting the following year as a cadet. In 2007 things got serious: Jordan’s move to the Minimax Super One National Kart Championship, the key series that the vast majority of top British racers come through, saw the young driver finish in 12th place.
He improved his performance brilliantly in 2008 by coming a close second in the national championship. Jordan moved up to the KF3 series in 2009, also experiencing his maiden European triumph at the WSK International Series. Now well into his fourth year of competing, his ambitions remain undimmed: “Once I’ve finished karting, I want to move into cars and move my way up each class. Hopefully, I’ll make it to Formula 1 one day.”
