Andrew Phillip Jordan (born 24 May 1989 in Sutton Coldfield) is a British racing driver recognized for his participation in the British Touring Car Championship, where he secured the championship title in 2013.

Rallycross

Jordan launched his motorsport journey in rallycross, joining the Ford Rally Academy in 2003 and clinching the Winter Junior Rallycross Championship. The following year, he earned the BTRDA Junior Rallycross championship and was honored as the top newcomer in the British Junior series. In 2005, he amassed four titles: Junior Rallycross, BTRDA Rallycross, Super Series Junior, and the Ginetta Winterseries. By 2006, driving a Team Eurotech Ford Focus, he became the youngest winner in the British Rallycross Supercar division. Under the guidance of 1992 European Rallycross Champion Will Gollop, Jordan finished second overall in the 2007 British Rallycross Championship, securing three victories.

In 2014, Jordan made a brief return to rallycross by competing in the second round of the FIA World Rallycross Championship at Lydden Hill with an Olsbergs MSE Ford Fiesta ST Supercar, where he achieved a third-place finish. The next year, he participated in two additional World RX events: piloting a Peugeot 208 Supercar for Team Peugeot-Hansen in Great Britain and an Audi S1 Supercar for EKS RX during the Italian round.

Renault Clio Cup

Following limited involvement in the 2006 SEAT Cupra Championship, Jordan competed in the 2007 Renault Clio Cup, which supports the British Touring Car Championship. Representing his father's team, he concluded the season twelfth overall, with his best result being a second-place finish at Brands Hatch.

Eurotech Racing (2008)

Jordan stepped into the British Touring Car Championship in 2008 with Team Eurotech alongside his father Mike Jordan, forming the first father-and-son pairing in BTCC history. Both drove previously used Team Dynamics Honda Integras. Despite encountering reliability challenges, Jordan secured two podium finishes at Oulton Park and Knockhill, ultimately placing thirteenth overall and ahead of his father.

VX Racing (2009)

In 2009, Jordan joined the factory-backed Vauxhall squad, driving a Vauxhall Vectra alongside teammates Fabrizio Giovanardi and Matt Neal. He earned his inaugural pole position at Donington Park, becoming BTCC’s youngest pole sitter at that time—a record later broken. With three runner-up finishes during the season, he ended tenth in the standings. Vauxhall withdrew from BTCC at the conclusion of that year.

Pirtek Racing (2010–2014)

Returning to his family-run outfit under the Pirtek Racing banner in 2010, Jordan competed with a turbocharged Vauxhall Vectra built to NGTC specifications. He notched his first series victory at Croft and followed it with another win at Brands Hatch despite some mechanical difficulties.

Pirtek expanded to a two-car operation in 2011, running Jordan alongside Jeff Smith. That season, Jordan captured a race win at Donington Park and multiple podium placements, finishing sixth overall and third within the Independents' Trophy.

In 2012, Pirtek fielded two NGTC Honda Civics prepared by Team Dynamics. Jordan achieved pole position at Thruxton but retired early after spinning on wet track conditions.

Continuing with Pirtek in 2013, Jordan secured pole position for the opening round at Brands Hatch amidst challenging weather and finished second after a late-race collision. He ultimately clinched the 2013 BTCC championship title at Brands Hatch GP.

During his final year with Pirtek in 2014, Jordan won four races—including the first two rounds at Brands Hatch—claimed two poles, and set four fastest laps. Notably, he recorded BTCC’s fastest ever lap at Thruxton (1:16.192), averaging 111.31 mph. He finished fifth overall with 310 points, narrowly missing out on fourth place. A disappointing weekend at Snetterton ended his title bid prematurely; however, he rebounded with strong results at Knockhill. He secured third place in the Independents' Trophy and tenth in the Jack Sears Trophy.

Additionally, Jordan made a brief appearance in the FIA World Rallycross Championship's British round during 2014.

Triple Eight Racing (2015)

After departing Eurotech at the end of 2014, Jordan joined the factory MG squad managed by Triple Eight Racing, continuing his partnership with Pirtek as sponsor. He had a prior stint with this team in 2009 during their Vauxhall BTCC factory campaign. Throughout the 2015 season, he achieved five podium finishes, concluding the year in 5th place overall.

Motorbase Performance (2016)

In October 2015, Jordan transitioned to Motorbase for the 2016 campaign, piloting their Ford Focus ST while retaining Pirtek backing. He broke a 16-month winless streak by taking victory at Thruxton and followed up with another triumph at Silverstone. Jordan secured 8th position in the championship and claimed the independents title for the third time.

West Surrey Racing (2017–2019)

Jordan inked a two-year contract in November 2016 with the factory BMW outfit West Surrey Racing, driving the 125i M Sport and maintaining his association with Pirtek sponsorship.

Additional engagements

In 2011, Jordan appeared once for Team-LNT in the British GT Championship at Oulton Park behind the wheel of a Ginetta G55 GT3, finishing 15th in class and retiring from the second race.

He was runner-up on the Australian TV series Shannons Supercar Showdown, produced by V8 Supercars team Kelly Racing, which aimed to award a Bathurst 1000 starting position.

At the final round of the 2017 Pickup Truck Racing Championship, Jordan made a single appearance and won the second race.
