Jordan Grand Prix Reviews
Newest Review: ... toll on the car in a couple of races, and they dropped down the rankings. Eddie Jordan is the leader and lynch pin of the team, with his charismatic personality and entrepreneurial skills, that led to a lucrative long term sponsorship deal with cigarette manufacturer’s Benson and Hedges in 1996. He has always had an eye for good drivers and for rising young talent. Many of today’s established stars of Formula One cut their teeth in a Jordan car, including the current World Champion, Michael Schumacher, who raced with them in their opening season in 1991. His brother Ralf followed suit, and at other times they have employed th... more

~ ~ It’s almost upon us again! Soon the engines will roar and all the beautiful people will return from their winter “hibernation” in sunnier climes, as the big boys of the motor racing world gear up for this season’s Formula One opener, the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne this coming weekend. (3/3/02) The Irish, off course, will have an interest, as one of our favoured sons, Eddie Jordan, tries once again to lift his Jordan team from the also ran position it has occupied in the last couple of years into the big boy’s league of motor sport. ~ ~ There have been many “false dawns” at Jordan since they made their ...

Grateful thanks to Yhwman for giving me the confidence to write about a sport I love, even if I'm not up to scratch on the technical details!.................. I would be lying if I said I knew everything about Formula One, I don’t! I’m the first to admit I’m not an expert; I’m a girlie after all. But I am a huge fan of the sport, the speed, the strategy element, the drivers (just can’t get enough of men in hard helmets, ahem!), and in particular, the Jordan team. I guess it’s more to do with the man himself, Eddie Jordan, rather than anything to do with the best Formula One car, or the team with the best ... Read the complete review

After their stunning performance in 1999, it was hard to believe that the Jordan team had been in F1 for less than a decade - but the 2000 season brought them back down to earth with a bump. Debuting on the grid in 1991, Eddie Jordan's team immediately built on their F3 and F3000 success and took fifth place in the constructors' championship that year. It was a hard act to follow, and a reluctant move to the works Yamaha engine in 1992 saw the team slip towards the back of the grid and financial ruin. In 1993 a deal with engine manufacturer Brian Hart brought a little improvement for the team - highlights being Rubens Barrichello running ... Read the complete review

After the year Jordan had in 1999 a lot of pundits expected them to be at the front end of the Grand Prix field battling for race wins in 2000. After all,the team had a driver in contention for the World Drivers Championship towards the end of 99 and the they seemed to have a lot going for them as they moved into the 2000 season.Unfortunatly things went horribly wrong for the Silverstone based outfit.The team suffered severe reliability problems with the EJ10 which hampered many test sessions and races in 2000,also the team suffered its fair share of bad luck with incidents happening beyond their control which forced their drivers out of races.Examples I can think of to .

The Jordan Grand Prix team are the team to watch in the future, Entered into formula one in 1991 the team impressed everyone with a fifth place in there first year. There biggest claim to fame is they gave some bloke called Michael Schumacher his grand prix debut. Jordan's first pole came in 1994 at Spa after changing to Yamaha engine's in 1992 and also achieving some other good results with Eddie Irvine and Rubans Barrichello' 1995 saw a change to Peugeot and a second and third place in Canada again with Barrichello and Irvine. The big step forward came in 1996 when a new sponsor came on board, Benson & Hedges. They helped with substantial ... Read the complete review
