I have just found out that Eddie Jordan raced at Le Mans in 1981, he drove a BMW M1 for Emka Productions Ltd / Michael Cane Racing, sharing with Steve O'Rourke and David Hobbs. The car retired on lap 236 in the 22nd hour with Fuel injection and Clutch problems.

Even more of a surprise is Mark Thatcher, son of Maggie, also racing. Also retired at 22 hours. Mark also raced in 79.

I think I might have a photo of the Eddie Jordan car I will try and hunt it down later.

Are you sure he retired? I heard he turned left instead of right at Arnage and was never seen again........
