2003 Jordan EJ13 Firman

The Jordan EJ13 follows two Jordan cars that were powered by Honda engines. When the Japanese engine manufacturer decided to put all its focus on the British American Racing (BAR) team, principal Eddie Jordan made a deal with Ford to get them to supply Cosworth RS engines in 2003 a deal that was spanning three years. The car was designed by the team led by Gary Anderson as technical director and Henri Durand as design and development director. EJ13 was driven by Giancarlo Fisichella, Ralph Firman and Zsolt Baumgartner who replaced Firman who was injured for two races. Firman, former British F3 champion (1996) and Formula Nippon champion (2002) participated in 14 Formula One Grands Prix, debuting at the 2003 Australian Grand Prix. He scored one championship point, in the 2003 Spanish Grand Prix. This point was the first for a Republic of Ireland driver since Derek Daly in 1982.
