🇬🇧 Jann Mardenborough

Jann Mardenborough, a British driver, entered motorsport through an unconventional route, rising to prominence in 2011 as the third and youngest winner of the GT Academy competition, which converted his background in sim racing into a professional contract with Nissan despite having no prior racing experience. That breakthrough led to a career spanning multiple top-level categories, including GT3 and junior single-seater competition, Super GT, Super Formula, and the FIA World Endurance Championship, where he has claimed a class podium at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. His current entry in the Racer DB record reflects a spell in British GT Championship competition with Team RJN, a program now marked as retired within this database.[1]

Across that British GT stint with Team RJN, Mardenborough made six career starts, taking a single podium finish without adding a race win or championship title to his record. In the 2026 season, he appeared across five rounds, finishing without a win or podium and placing sixth in the standings. His Racer Rating stands at 5,237, ranking him 195th among active drivers on the platform's Elo-style scale, positioning him well below the elite tier of the sport but reflective of a driver with a long and varied top-level résumé built well beyond this particular series entry.[2]
