Jann Mardenborough
Jann Mardenborough has loved cars since he was given a toy one as a baby. He loved
them so much that when he was eight, his father took him to a place where children race
small cars called karts. Staff at the kart centre told Jann he drove so well, he might one
day become a racing driver. Unfortunately, the kart centre closed soon afterwards, and
there wasn't another one near enough to his home that he could get to.
As he couldn't race karts any more, Jann decided to try computer racing games. After
lots of practice, he became very good. However, he never told his parents what he was

winners of a computer racing competition. They were very surprised. His prize was to
drive a real car in a race against the other nine top players.

It was Jann's first time in a racing car, but, amazingly, he won the race! The prize this
time was a free course to learn to be a racing driver. He did really well, and has found a
job driving in a racing team.
