EDDIE  J O R D A N   - Stable Owner 
===========================================================
                                                   

Eddie Jordan was born in Dublin on 30 March, 1948. After
graduating from the Synge Street College in 1966, he began
dental studies before deciding on a financial career which
began with the Bank of Ireland in 1967, interrupted by a
strike in Dublin, forcing him to go to Jersey in the summer
of 1970, where he discovered go-kart racing. 

Once back in Dublin, he bought a 100 cc kart with which he
was to win the Irish Championship in 1972. Two years later,
Eddie moved up to FF1600 and won several events driving a
Crossle 30F vehicle. At the end of 1975, he was involved in
a serious accident at Mallory Park, but he returned at the
end of the following season at the wheel of a Lotus 69. 

In 1977, Eddie won three Atlantic Formula races with a
Parch chassis previously owned by Alan Jones and in 1978,
he won the Irish Atlantic Formula Championship aboard a
Chevron B29. At the height of his driving career, Jordan
decided to leave for Silverstone in England where he teamed
up with Stefan Johansson in Team Ireland, entering a
Chevron chassis in the British Formula 3 Championship. 

In 1979, Eddie made his debut in Formula 2 at Donnington
Park with Team Ireland and also tried out the McLaren
Formula 1 car, before deciding to found Eddie Jordan Racing
that year. In 1981, Eddie Jordan abandoned driving to fully
dedicate himself to his stable, building his reputation
over the years as a businessman and a discoverer of talent. 

In winning the British Formula 3 Championship and the
International Formula 3000 title, Jordan built up his
expertise to achieve the ultimate goal of a Formula 1
crown, beginning in 1991. Today, after four years of
tremendous progress, the Jordan team is on the heels of the
world's four leading Formula 1 manufacturers and his new
partnership with Peugeot opens the way to success. After a
quarter century in the field, Eddie Jordan is at the
threshold of his ultimate victory.
