1993, 1994 1:43rd Jordan Two Car Box Set
Jordan two car box set with cars driven by many drivers in 1993 including
Eddie Irvine in his formula one debut. These models have never been displayed.
1993 season started with two new drivers, Ivan Capelli and Brazilian rookie
Rubens Barrichello. Capelli left after two races and Barrichello saw five other
drivers become team mates of his during the 1993 campaign. This year signs of
stability were beginning to show near the end of the season when Barrichello
was joined by Eddie Irvine, a former Jordan driver in F3000. Irvine finished
sixth and secured a point on his debut Formula One race at Suzuka. It was
further memorable because Irvine unlapped himself against an F1 great,
McLaren's Ayrton Senna, in order to overtake Damon Hill. After the race
finished, an incensed Senna stormed into the Jordan garage and punched Irvine
in the face.
Barrichello and Irvine returned for the 1994 season, as did the Hart engines,
but Irvine had a bad start to the season, earning a three-race ban for reckless
driving. Barrichello earned the team their first top three finish in Japan at
the Pacific Grand Prix, but was nearly killed during the following race in San
Marino following a frightening qualifying crash. The team overcame these
difficulties and returned to their initial form as they finished fifth in the
Constructors' Championship again. Barrichello earned Jordan's first pole
position, and finished 6th in the Drivers' Championship with 19 points. This
achievement stunned the Formula 1 big teams given the fact that a team with
such a low budget with an engine designed and built by Darrell O'Brien/Hart
Engineering achieved 5th in the constructor's championship with 28 points.
In early 2005, the team was sold to Midland Group, who competed for one final
season as 'Jordan', before renaming the team as MF1 Racing for the 2006 season,
before being sold later in 2006 to Dutch car manufacturer Spyker to become
Spyker F1 for 2007, and then sold again to become Force India in 2008.
