Jourdain was already showing his potential during the second half of his rookie year at Peyton/Coyne. As soon as Herdez gave Coyne enough $$$ to buy a used Rahal Reynard (since the Lolas where total POS that year - the Reynard-Lola gap was much larger than the Lola-Reynard gap this year) Jourdain stsrted running in the upper midfield that year, would have scored some more points but Coyne cars seem to self-destruct when they are actually competitive. To make it even more fun Jourdain had Dennis Vittolo for a "teammate". Even if Jourdain was a rookie this year he would still have more than enough talent to smoke Camathias, Lavin, Lemarie, Yoong, and a few others.
