Takuma Sato laid down the gauntlet and set a blistering lap time for 20 press and Damovo guests to attempt to beat in a Pro Am karting challenge in London last night.

Damovo, Jordan's official business communications partner, hosted the event at The Raceway karting circuit to celebrate its first anniversary and first year as a Jordan Grand Prix sponsor.

Takuma, his manager and Jordan account manager Fiona Cranfield attended the endurance test late into the night, where adrenalin and exhilharation was experienced by all.
