Racing Career

Rallycross

He first started racing in Rallycross. In 2003 he entered the Ford Rally Academy, and he went on to win the Winter Junior Rallycross Championship. The next year, he was the BTRDA Junior Rallycross Champion, and won the title of best newcomer in the British Junior series. In 2005 he won four different titles, the Junior Rallycross, BTRDA Rallycross, Super Series junior and the Ginetta Winterseries. In 2006 he was the youngest ever driver and race winner in the British Rallycross Supercar class, in a Team Eurotech Ford Focus. He was runner-up in the 2007 British Rallycross, with three wins.

Renault Clio Cup

After driving some races in the 2006 SEAT Cupra Championship, he raced in the 2007 Renault Clio Cup, which supports the British Touring Car Championship. Driving for his father's team, he finished twelfth in the championship with a best result of second, coming in the opening round at Brands Hatch.

BTCC

Jordan competing in the fourth event of the 2009 British Touring Car Championship season at Oulton Park.

In 2008, it was announced that he would join his father Mike Jordan (himself an experienced touring car and sportscar driver) as part of a two car Team Eurotech in the British Touring Car Championship. This was the first time a father and son would drive together in series history and both drove ex-Team Dynamics Honda Integras. The teenager's first season was a successful one, despite some reliability problems from his ageing but competitive Integra. This included two podiums, at Oulton Park and Knockhill. He finished the season in thirteenth place, one place ahead of his father.

For 2009 it was announced that he would continue in the BTCC in a Vauxhall Vectra for the works Vauxhall team alongside Fabrizio Giovanardi and Matt Neal. Jordan scored his first pole position at the third round of the season at Donington Park.
