Brooklyn Beckham poked fun at his many career paths as he teased a job as a racing driver for a new promotional video on Wednesday.

The son of Victoria and David Beckham, 25, has forged many career paths including pH๏τography and more recently as a chef.

And the self-aware star appears to be taking advantage of his reputation in the new promo video for Jaguar TCS Racing and Formula E.

Formula E, officially the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, is an open-wheel single-seater motorsport championship for electric cars.

He announced last month that he would take part in a new initiative from the sport, which will pit 11 influencers against each other in an attempt to raise Formula E’s profile.

Their is hope that by using the public figures, which also include former Man City striker turned content creator Sergio Aguero, the sport will reach younger audiences and increase in popularity.

In the clip an interviewer asks him: ‘So Brooklyn, you’re training to be a racing driver now?’

Smirking slightly, Brooklyn then replies saying: ‘Yeah it has kind of taken over my life really.’

He went on to joke: ‘Sitting down has really taken on a whole new meaning’ – as he sat in a chair in the position of a low down race car.

He adds: ‘Also I’m always looking for that overtake’, – as he watches a race and sarcastically exclaims: ‘Wow!’

Showcasing one of his current career ventures he adds: ‘It’s even taken over my cooking’ – as a bowl he’s shaking turns into a steering wheel. 

At the end of the video he says ᴅᴇᴀᴅ pan to the camera: ‘I just keep reflecting on winning. I’m so ready! Let’s go racing!’ 

He penned in the caption of the clip shared on his Instagram: ‘I’m a racing driver. & EVO Sessions have taken over my life. Next stop: Miami. Let’s see if practice makes perfect on track!’

After spending time in Arsenal’s academy as a youngster, Brooklyn – who is married to American actress Nicola Peltz – has worked as a model and influencer, racking up several brand endorsement deals, while he has also tried to break into pH๏τography and cookery.

Brooklyn, who is being paid for this partnership, has 16million followers on Instagram, while Aguero has racked up 30m. 

The electric vehicles can reach 200mph and accelerate 30 per cent quicker than a usual F1 car.

Each influencer involved, including Brooklyn, will be paired with a professional team and driver, before undergoing six weeks of training ahead of a race at a circuit in Miami on March 5-6. 

This will include working on a driving simulator before they are given dedicated physical and driver training sessions by the professionals. 

And, opening up on his new venture to BBC Sport last month, Brooklyn revealed why he has taken the plunge into Formula E.

‘Like my dad, I’ve always been obsessed with driving,’ he said. ‘It’s getting more people to experience Formula E and the more people who do [see it], the more people will understand.

‘Formula One has been going on for a lot longer, the world is changing, so I think [Formula E] definitely has a chance to come close to it.’

Brooklyn has been a long-time fan of the sport, although he did admit that he is yet to tell Peltz of his plans.

Meanwhile, Brooklyn went on to add that despite expecting a negative reaction to his move, he felt this was a great opportunity to bring the spectacle of Formula E to a wider audience. 

‘When this comes out, people are going to think that I’m going to try and become an F1 driver,’ he added. ‘They think I’m going to change careers again. But people will understand and realise how mentally tough this sport is.

At the end of the video he says ᴅᴇᴀᴅ pan to the camera: ‘I just keep reflecting on winning. I’m so ready! Let’s go racing!’

Alongside Brooklyn, former Man City striker Sergio Aguero will also be part of the project

Last month the 25-year-old explained how he hopes his move can bring Formula E to a wider audience (seen with dad David)

‘These guys in these cars are just so talented. I’m just really excited to meet them and be a part of this.’

Meanwhile, Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds expressed his excitement at the plans, highlighting how using the influencers to ‘elevate’ the sport’s profile made sense. 

He also refuted claims that a collaboration like this would diminish the skills and effort required to be successful Formula E, insisting that ‘it’s not a gimmick’

And, despite the sport being yet to take off in the UK and posting a loss of £36m last year, Dodds is confident that it can overtake MotoGP as the second most popular motorsport by 2030.
