TWO DOWN IN SHANNON’S SUPERCAR SHOWDOWN With the Shannon’s Supercar Showdown getting into full swing on 7mate, two competitors have been eliminated. Kiwi racer, Nick Cassidy was the first to be given his marching orders, then Queenslander – Shae Davies – an early favourite to go deep into the show – exited after being carted off to hospital in a karting accident in the most recent episode. This leaves just eight competitors as the Series closes its first month this weekend on 7mate and the competition to partner Grant Denyer in a Castrol-backed Kelly Racing car at Bathurst intensifies. All three of the female racers that started the Series remain, whilst the only international still in the pack is this week’s profile – Andrew Jordan:
Name: Andrew Jordan Location: United Kingdom Age: 22 Series: British Touring Cars Now in his fourth BTCC season, 22-year-old Brit, Andrew Jordan is one of the British Touring Car Championship’s leading young drivers. Driving a Marcos Ambrose inspired Pirtek-liveried Vauxhall Vectra, Jordan has taken three BTCC victories in the three years he has competed in the Championship. Rather than come through the traditional karting and Formula Ford route to Touring Cars, Jordan at one stage looked set for a career in rallying. He was a junior rallycross champion – being selected for a Ford rallying program. He then combined the on/off-road racing with circuit racing in the popular Ginetta Series in the UK and then went onto become a front-runner in the Renault Clio Cup. Jordan scored a podium in his first year of the British Touring Car Championship in 2008. In 2009, he became the youngest ever pole-sitter in the BTCC and last year took two race victories. He has earmarked V8 Supercars as the next step in his career – and the Shannon’s Supercar Showdown could be just the ticket he is looking for. Catch all the Shannon’s Supercar Showdown drama on 7mate each Sunday at 5pm.
