If Andrew Jordan and Mike Jordan end up racing in the BTCC next season when was the last time father and son raced in the series at the same time?
I can't think of any examples in the recent past. Not at the same time anyway.
Good point...I'm not quite sure why I wrote that :oQuote:

Sadly, 'plans' I remember seeing reported to have Jimmy in the second Ecurie Ecosse Cavalier at Knockhill in 1992 came to nothing, otherwise they would have competed in the same race.Quote:

...and of course you have Malcolm and Fiona Leggate as a father and daughter combination.
Of course. How could I have forgotten that?Quote:

Jack and David Sears are the only father and son who have both won races in the BTCC though.
Steve Neal in the 60s, then Matt Neal in the present day. Jim Wheals who raced the ex-Rousesport Sierra Sapphire in 1993 at the Snetterton meeting, then his son Jay who drove the Team Varta Peugeot 306 in 2003 and their Honda Civic in 2004 is another one.
Ah, that's the interesting fact about them that I was trying to recall in my head. Thanks!Quote:
