Jaden Lander; talented on the track; driven and charismatic off the track. This combination sets the stage for Jaden Lander to be a favorite of fans, teams and sponsors alike.

Born and raised in New York City, Jaden could be seen racing around in anything he could get his hands on since the age of four. Finally, at sixteen, he was able to get on track for the first time with a spec Miata test at Lime Rock Raceway. This test is where he met his future coach, Jonathan Goring, marking the start of Jaden’s racing career. Lander, hooked on the sport since he was a kid, finally got the chance to showcase his talent and potential and hasn’t looked back.

In only four short years of racing, Jaden has accumulated accolades on and off the track while garnering industry leaders’ respect. With wins, podiums, and experiences across a wide variety of sports cars and series, including but not limited to SCCA Touring, Spec Miata, Spec Mx-5 Challenge Series and the Hoosier Racing Super Tour, no matter the series, the car or the track, Jaden continues to impress. While pursuing his passion for motorsports, Jaden also graduated from NYU with a degree in Business Psychology and Marketing.

The 2024 season was Jaden’s most successful yet with him winning the GT4 America AM Class Championship with Rotek Racing in the final race of the season.

Jaden will be back with Rotek Racing for the 2025 season, where he will be competing in the Porsche Carrera Cup North America in a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup race car.

While Jaden has been very impressive on track, what differentiates him is his personality, work ethic and relationship building skills, particularly at such a young age. Jaden possesses all the attributes one could look for in an individual representing its brand. We are fortunate to have a strong relationship with Jaden and are excited for the future of Jaden’s motorsports career."

When you first speak to Jaden, his maturity is immediately clear and he has a way of funneling this into his on-track results. To acquire the level of emotional intelligence that Jaden possesses at such a young age is not common. When you add in his gifted, natural talent behind the wheel, it becomes evident that Jaden is clearly an asset to any partnership in motorsports both in business and driving. This is simply a foreshadow for Jaden's future successes."
