Ex-Formula One team owner Eddie Jordan has been awarded an honorary OBE (Order of the British Empire) in recognition of his services to charity and motor racing.
Irishman Jordan, 64, founded the team that bore his name (now ***** India) in 1990. It went on to compete in 250 Grands Prix, winning four, before he sold out to the Midland Group in 2005. In addition to his charity work, Jordan is now best known as an F1 television pundit.
“What a wonderful moment in my life,” said Jordan of the news. “I am hugely surprised and greatly overjoyed to receive this magnificent honour, however it would not have been possible without the help of my ******, the Jordan Grand Prix F1 team, CLIC Sargent and in more recent times the BBC F1 team.”
Jordan famously gave Michael Schumacher his F1 race debut at the 1991 Belgian Grand Prix. He also gave Ayrton Senna and Damon Hill their first Formula Three drives.

It does look like the car that Ronnie Petterson drove, but I could be mistaken... and I cant for the life of my remember who his team mate was.
Yes, it is Mario Andretti (5) and Ronnie Peterson (6)
Bahrain in two weeks, should it take place?

Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
That pic brings back the best of memories. It's truly amazing that right there, we are looking at 11 World Driving Championships!
Here's a couple of questions that I *think* I know the answer to: of the men in that photo, how many drove (raced or tested) an Indy car?
And here is kind of a trick question: who was the last World Driving Champion to race an Indy car?

He sure did, Lars. And that was a fantastic year in both CART IndyCar and Formula One ('94 was horrible!).
Tell ya what, if an OCSM can answer one or both questions, what say we F1 fans agree to give her our votes through at least the first round? So, don't anybody answer and let's see if any of the OCSM's will lurk this thread and give the right answer(s). Hey, it's an "easy" way to pick up some votes, yeah? :dunno:
