GRRL! SUMMARY:
- JORDYN MARTIN is making the leap from American karting to British single-seaters with Fortec Motorsports in 2026, bringing an impressively diverse racing resume that spans motocross, dirt ovals, and road courses. The 15-year-old from South Florida has already proven she can adapt quickly, scoring multiple wins and poles in the AMR karting series while building international experience with outings in the UK and strong debuts in formula racing.
- Her unconventional path through Junior Sportsman championships, bandoleros, and KA100 Junior karting has created exactly the kind of well-rounded skillset that translates to single-seater success. We’ve seen this story before – drivers who cut their teeth across multiple disciplines often bring a racecraft maturity that pure karting graduates sometimes lack, and MARTIN’s praised “clean but decisive” style suggests she’s already figured out how to win without making enemies.
- Fortec’s Oliver Dutton clearly sees something special in MARTIN, betting on her “raw pace and willingness to learn” over more traditional European ladder credentials. With a full pre-season testing program in the Tatuus MSV-025 ahead of her, we’re watching a calculated gamble that could pay off big – American talent crossing the pond to prove that different doesn’t mean inferior in the increasingly global world of junior single-seaters.
UPCOMING:
- 2026 GB4 Championship season opener at Silverstone
- Pre-season testing program with Fortec Motorsports
