Formula Ford

After spending time in karting between 1997 and 2001, Jousse began has circuit racing career in 2002 in the Formula Ford Kent series. In the three races he contested he took three podium finishes, including one race win. In 2003 he moved to the French Formula Ford series, taking a single podium place to finish the year in 9th place. He also took part in the end-of-season Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch, finishing in 17th position.

For 2004, Jousse moved up to the French Formula Renault 2.0 championship with Hexis Racing. During his first season he took one podium finish to end the year in 14th place. He continued in the series for 2005, switching to the front running SG Formula team. He took three podium places, including a debut win at Magny-Cours, to finish 6th in the standings. He also took part in six Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 races, scoring twelve points on his way to 21st overall.
