As Thars' three times as many Stateside vs. Formula
1!
Never fear, for those of Yuhs who get caught
up in Patriotic Fever, or more likely nationalistic Jingoism... Don't Sweat, as
the number of Californians outweighs the total number of Brits' itself; but is
Charlie Kimball really a Californian?

Age: 24
Career Highlights
Rightly or wrongly, for Mwah, Jordan's remembered
mostly for being the son of Justin King, former CEO of Britain's Mega' Sainsbury
grocery chain. Along with being Alexander Rossi's GP2 team-mate in 2015.
Although Jordan's apparently No slouch behind
the wheel, having won the 2011 MRF Formula 1600 Single Seater championship.
Then following that up by winning the 2013 British F3 title.
In 2015 Jordan joined the Racing Engineering
GP2 squad alongside that Yank Rossi, who we all know, afterwards won the 2016
Indy 500!
As Jordan's father's name should strike a
chord, since he was involved with the Manor F1 team project, for which his son
was named a Development Driver for. Making his Formula 1 debut in Austin, Texas
during Friday's Free Practice session for the 2016 USGP.
Jordan remained with Racing Engineering for a
second season in GP2, ultimately his best season, since he won two races that
year and finished seventh overall. Next he switched teams to MP Motorsports for
the rebranded FIA Formula 2 series last year, but failed to score anymore
victories.
As Jordan has the dubious distinction of racing in
two FIA Formula 2 series, with the first being under Dr. Jonathan Palmer's
reign, circa 2009-12, before the FIA took over the name for 2017...
thus Jordan, like Rossi and fellow Brit Max
Chilton, has sought refuge in the Indy Cars series, and will drive the
"Twisties" portion of the calendar, aka Street Circuits & Road
Course races for ECR.
As not sure, but think I read somewheres' that
Jordan's doing an Oval test, so what's that all about, Eh? Since we know that Queen
Dan-Dan-Danica's running FAST EDDIE's third entry at Indianapolis this year...

R-Jack Harvey, UK
Age:
24
Career Highlights
The short Skinny upon the amiable Brit is
that he was Bridesmaid twice in Indy Lights, finishing runner-up in 2014-15,
and actually tied for the title in his first go-around with Gabby Chaves, but
lost out on the second tie-breaker, since both drivers finished tied in points
and wins apiece. With Chaves having more second place finishes.
As whenever I listen to this Brit, another
voice enters my Head, his fellow countryman of multiple aliases like
"bloody Nige" or "red 5," ergo Nigel Mansell.
As Harvey's a multiple Go Karting champion,
along with claiming the 2012 British Formula 3 title with Carlin. And although
he finished runner-up to Spencer Pigot, he won the 2015 Freedom 100 for Schmidt
Peterson Motorsports. (SPM)
Jack was the "Other Rookie" during
last year's Indy 500 with Mikey A's six car Armada, while the entire world
focused upon some Spaniard named Fernando, Ci!
Afterwards, Harvey ran the final two races
for his 'Ol lights team, filling the SPM seat vacated by Mikhail Aleshin at
Watkins Glen and Sonoma. As Harvey will once again strap on an IndyCar this
year, beginning at St Pete. As he'll run a six race programme for Mike Shank in
conjunction with SPM in a cooperative technical alliance as the team's pseudo
third entry, as shank & Harvey both seek to become Fulltime IndyCar
competitors in the future.
