Horner grew up in a family involved in the auto industry. Horner&#8217;s grandfather was a purchasing manager at the Standard Motor Company in Coventry. After that position, Horner&#8217;s grandfather and father established an agency to supply parts to auto manufacturers in the Midlands.<\/p>\n<h2>Karting<\/h2>\n<p>Horner himself began his racing career in karts. After winning a Formula Renault scholarship in 1991, he competed in the British Formula Renault Championship in 1992. This season he became race winner and highest placed rookie. After this successful season, Horner switched to British Formula 3 and finished second in the Class B championship here for P1 Motorsport. This season he won five races. In 1994 and 1995, Horner switched to the Fortec and ADR teams. In 1996, he made the move to the TOM&#8217;S Team and also raced in British Formula 2.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-content\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"780\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/SI202112120297_news-1140x780.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-113577\"><figcaption> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Formula 3000<\/h2>\n<p>In 1997, Horner founded the Arden team in Formula 3000. The team was founded with borrowed money from outside parties and a loan from his father. Christian convinced P1 Motorsport founder Roly Vincini to become a race engineer. In 1998, Horner stayed in the F3000 and started driving with Kurt Mollekens. Kurt drove smoothly and at one point led the championship. During a pre-season test, Horner found that he could not keep up with the level and went on to focus on developing the Arden team.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-content\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"770\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Adrian-newey-2-1140x770.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-141608\"><figcaption> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>formula 1<\/h2>\n<p>After several seasons in the F3000, Horner looked for the opportunity to enter Formula One.
