Jordan on Race Elite short list
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the 20 drivers short listed, six will finally be selected for a place on the MSA Race Elite programme, which will give them a minimum of three years of coaching and training on a wide range of skills needed to make it to the top of the sport.
At 17 years old, Andrew is one of the youngest selected and is one of only three saloon car racers in the shortlist. The other two are leading BTCC racers Colin Turkington and Tom Onslow-Cole. Two drivers are from sportscar racing, but the other 15 are all single-seater racers.
The rigorous judging process will run over coming weeks and panel includes leading UK motorsport journalist Matt James from Motorsport News, team boss Peter Briggs, A1GP race engineer Chris Gorne, sportscar racer Oliver Gavin and veteran racer David Leslie.
Should be fun. And looks like Andrew is making a splash even before the season has started.
