Mic McJergens

Mic McJergens is an Irish Formula D driver, currently driving for the UAE-based team Nergal GP Racing. He is a former World Champion, having won the championship in Season 1.

Early Career
McJergens began racing in local karting leagues at the age of 12. By the age of 18, he had migrated out of pro karts to the Pro UK open-wheeled series, where he won the championship in his second season. After a second place and another championship, he moved on to Formula Forrester, placing fourth in his first season. He continued to place well in Formula Forrester, taking the championship in his third season and second in his fourth.

Season 1
Prior to the start of the first Formula D season, McJergens was approached to drive for Nergal GP Racing. He performed strongly during pre-season tests, and he won the first two races of the season at Australia and Long Beach by very narrow margins. Canada was the first and only time McJergens was off the podium during the first season, and while he also took a win at Malaysia, by the time the European leg was underway L'equipe Duchamp rival Mikhail Volkov was tied with him in points. Victories at Monaco and the Netherlands gave McJergens a bit of a cushion, and a consistent showing at Monza and San Marino pushed him far ahead of L'equipe Duchamp. McJergens secured the Drivers Championship for himself and the Constructors Championship for Nergal at the conclusion of the Japanese Grand Prix, then took a final win at Brazil to cap off a strong season.

Season 2
For his second season, McJergens was paired with last season's GP-D champion Leonard McGee. From the start, McJergens was having problems handling the new chassis. Both drivers performed below expectations at the pre-season testing at Silverstone, and McJergens only managed 5th to his teammate's victory at Argentina. McJergens faired no better in Malaysia, nabbing fourth after the bottom four cars retired. Another fourth greeted him in Spain and his first career retirement in Germany. In Monaco, he finally clawed his way onto the podium with his first race win, but the following races saw continued poor performances and retirements. He won again in Belgium with a strong victory in trecharous conditions, but retirements and fifth places plagued him again until Canada, where he found himself on the podium three races in a row. By Japan, he was in third place in the Drivers Championship, and a decisive victory in Brazil bumped him up to second place and secured the Constructors Championship for Nergal.

Future
McJergens signed a three year contract with Nergal at the start of his Formula D career. The contract contained options for extensions on a per-season basis.
