Gran Turismo in Real Life - with Mike Jordan, CEO of DTO Motorsport

Gran Turismo in Real Life - with Mike Jordan, CEO of DTO Motorsport

Author: Paramex Digital May 9, 2022 Duration: 1:12:09

Imagine turning up to a race track and being given a chance to drive a selection of amazing cars such as a McLaren 720S, a Porsche Cayman GT4 and a BMW M2 Racing Car with no concern about expensive things like fuel consumption and tyre wear. DTO Motorsport is a company that offers a selection of packages that do just that, and recently, John Marcar was invited to Donington Park to experience a DTO Motorsport Day.


In this week's episode, John sits down with the company's CEO and founder Mike Jordan as he explains how he transitioned from the corporate world with brands like AMEX to producing what is arguably the most desirable driving days on the market today.


Mike shares his passion through this conversation with a simple desire to do things right and fill a gap in the market for people that really want to get the best out of a selection of cars and improve their driving ability.

For a while, the drivenchat podcast served as the weekly audio companion to the Driven platform, wrapping up the automotive world into candid conversations. Each episode paired the insights of a special guest from across the industry with the distinct perspectives of its three hosts. Listeners heard automotive writer, producer, and presenter John Marcar alongside automotive and lifestyle photographer Amy Heynes, with analysis from a racing driver and vehicle dynamics expert. This combination meant discussions naturally flowed from technical deep-dives into engineering and performance to the broader culture and style surrounding cars, all grounded in genuine expertise. The podcast has since concluded its run, with new episodes continuing under the refreshed banner of The Driven Podcast. The existing library of drivenchat episodes remains a compelling archive, capturing specific moments and voices from the motoring scene through relaxed yet informed dialogue. It was a show where passion for cars was the starting point, not the entire destination, often veering into the personal stories and unexpected tangents that make the automotive community so diverse. Produced by Paramex Digital, the series sits within the leisure and automotive categories, offering a backstage pass to the people who design, drive, photograph, and obsess over vehicles of all kinds.
