Kane started off racing in karts in Ireland back in 1988, Jonny has won many major championships including Formula Ford, Formula Vauxhall and British Formula 3, before he moved to the USA in 1999, after an invitation from Barry Green to join Team KOOL Green (pictured above).
The move was a good one, with Jonny not only winning the team's first race in Indy Lights, but also being named Rookie of the Year in his first season. In 2001 Jonny will compete in the Le Mans 24 Hours for MG.
