One of the most exciting events for The Jordan Legacy during 2022 was when Ginetta GT4 Supercup Champion, James Kellet, agreed to prominently feature The Jordan Legacy’s logo on his race car. James then went on to win race after race during 2022 becoming Champion in his first full rookie season. This provided us with huge exposure on national television, as each race is watched by approximately 19 million viewers.

James, from York, went with his parents to a small karting track once a month, where he learnt the basics of karting and the race craft. He won his first championship at 9 years old and became British Champion at 12.

He continued to win various championships and break multiple lap records that still hold today. 13 Years old was the highlight of his karting career, when he won the WKA Manufacturers Cup at the famous Daytona International Speedway in Florida USA. James made the move into car racing when he was 14. In his first year, he won the Ginetta Junior Rookie Championship and the Winter Series Championship with a record breaking win of over 28 seconds. He then won the Protyre Motorsport Ginetta GT5 Challenge Championship in both 2015 and 2018. He was also awarded the BRDC Rising Star status in 2015.

The 2022 season was a hugely successful one for James and the Ginetta team and to see Jordan’s name on the front wing of the winning car each race was an amazing experience.

For 2023, James will be racing in the Porsche Carrera Cup Championship with the same Century Motorsport team and he’s once again hoping to feature The Jordan Legacy’s logo on his car.

Thank you James for helping us raise awareness about mental health issues and suicide.
