Bio

Jann Mardenborough is a professional race car driver who originally had no previous motorsport experience, having played sim racing video games instead, particularly the Gran Turismo game series on PlayStation systems. Early in his life, his dream was to become a race car driver. However, his family did not have the money to afford his racing career. They didn't know who to sponsor, which led to Jann shelving the idea as he got older. He went to his friend's house to play Gran Turismo on the PlayStation 1. He played it so often, he eventually got his own PlayStation console and a copy of Gran Turismo. He also played more Gran Turismo entries that came out for the PlayStation 2 and the PlayStation 3, the latter which he used a force feedback steering wheel and pedals. In 2011, he became the third and youngest winner of the GT Academy, beating 90,000 entrants to earn a professional racing contract with Nissan. During his career, he has finished on the podium in his class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, won races and contended for titles in GT3 and junior formula cars, and competed at the highest level in Super GT, Super Formula and the FIA World Endurance Championship. He also served himself as a stunt double in the 2023 Gran Turismo movie to recreate a scene where Jann Mardenborough crashed at the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 2015, which killed one spectator. When Jann competed in the GP3 Formula races, the car he used in those race is the 2013 Dallara GP3/13 Nismo.
