Cameron Jordan of Napa is showcasing Special Olympics NorCal on his car in a unique opportunity as a part of the Toyota Gazoo Racing North America GR Cup eSports League.
The GR Cup eSports League showcases 40 of the top simracers competing in seven races through September 21. The races are broadcast live on the GT World YouTube channel and SRO Motorsports Twitch, where viewers can see Cameron’s one-of-a-kind Special Olympics NorCal car.
“To put it simply, I wouldn’t be the same person without Special Olympics,” said Cameron. “It has shaped my life in a positive manner since the day of my birth (literally, some of our athletes in Napa recall pushing me in a stroller at opening ceremonies). I felt representing Special Olympics Northern California was the least I could do for an organization that has shaped my life, and likely millions of lives everywhere.”
Cameron is a student at Napa Valley College and works at a nonprofit organization that specializes in providing job skills, searches and coaching to people with intellectual disabilities. He was introduced to Special Olympics at a young age through his mother, Suzy Jordan, who is a coach and the Area Director for Napa County.
While interested in racing his whole life, Cameron began taking simracing seriously the past few years and hopes to translate his virtual skillset into a physical track in the future. He plans to attend Skip Barber Racing School to earn a racing competition license and will be interning with the United States Touring Car Championship social media team for the 2024 season.
