Jann Mardenborough is a name we probably should get used to hearing. The young 22-year-old English driver has been added to Red Bull’s driver development program for 2014, largely due to his winning the 2011 Nissan GT Academy and subsequent stops at GT racing, Formula 3 and LMP2.

But none of that can compare to Mardenborough's biggest achievement to date: debuting at the 24 Hours of Le Mans last year with Greaves Motorsport, in a Zytek Z11SN Nissan->ke62, finishing third in class with co-drivers Lucas Ordonez and Michael Krumm.

So the kid can drive and as it turns out, Red Bull is snapping him up for its driver development program, and a big part of that will be his debut into GP3 class racing with Arden Motorsport. As if that isn't pressure enough, Mardenborough will have some big shoes to fill at Arden as he is essentially replacing another Red Bull-backed driver Daniil Kvyat, who has since moved on to Formula One->ke190 with Scuderia Toro Rosso.

From what we've seen of him, Mardenborough has a good head on his shoulders and he should be able to make a comfortable transition into GP3. That being said, we're gonna keep a close eye on the kid to see how far he's come along since winning the Nissan GT Academy in 2011.
