Talking to Carmen Jorda on the Entitled1 green sofa, it is hard not to admire her tenacity and determination. The daughter of Spanish racing driver Jose Miguel Jorda, growing up she delightedly describes herself as a tomboy who was “always active, running around and only wanted to play with cars, never with dolls”. Then at the age of ten, her life changed when her father brought home the go-kart he had raced when he was younger. And from the moment she first got behind the wheel, Carmen began dreaming of racing in Formula One.
“It changed my universe,” she says excitedly. “It’s crazy to say, but I still remember the day it happened because everything was different for me. My sister didn’t want to sit in it but I couldn’t wait. I was only driving around a parking lot, but it was funny and crazy. I fell in love.”
Looking back, Jorda believes it was the adrenaline rush she got from racing that she found so compelling. Her father, meanwhile, encouraged their shared passion for the sport by mentoring her, teaching her how to go faster, pick the racing line and how to brake as late as possible into a corner. And she was quick. Very quick.
