Talking to Motorsport News Jordan said “I’ve always been about the results in anything we race which is good in a way and bad in another. We’ve got a great bunch of people at JRT and we’re all mates so the thought of going and doing European rallycross at Holjes or Hell, I’ll want to do well, but it will be a cool adventure. I want to enjoy the whole project rather than it just being all about the results.”
