1991 was the debut season for Jordan Grand Prix. Team’s first cat, the 191, was designed by Gary Anderson and was powered by Ford HBA3 3.5-litre V8 engine. Anderson, who had previously worked for Reynard and had designed that manufacturer’s F3000 cars, built a nice looking car with a raised nose and a drooping rear diffuser. The team’s drivers for the inaugural season were experienced Andrea de Cesaris and Belgian Bertrand Gachot. The 191 was consisted runner which allowed de Cesaris and Gachot regularly score small points. At Hungaroring Gachot even managed to set fastest race lap. After the Hungarian race, Gachot’s season was curtailed by a two-month prison sentence, for spraying CS gas at a taxi driver in London. Over the final six races, three drivers filled in for Belgian – Michael Schumacher, Roberto Moreno and Alessandro Zanardi. Schumacher at Belgian Grand Prix, his first F1 appearance and only race for Jordan, qualified a superb seventh on the grid (Jordan’s best at that time). However, the clutch failed within the first mile of the race. After his brilliant debut Schumacher was quickly engaged by Flavio Briatore and joined the Benetton team. Brazilian Roberto Moreno, who was kicked out from Benetton in favour of Schumacher, was signed by Jordan as a replacement. Driving the 191 Roberto retired at Monza and finished 10th at Estoril before being replaced by Alessandro Zanardi. This scale model by IXO is from Lendas Brasileiros do Automobilismo Collection.
