Jordan's Anniversary

Carrie · 3 Jul 2000, 19:12 (Ref:21192)

It doesn't really seem like Jordan are doing their 10th season in F1, but they are and to celebrate there's going to be a Jordan day at Donington on 3rd September. As well as displays from various Jordan cars there will be BOSS Formula, Classic Grand Prix cars and Thoroughbred Grand Prix.
Anyone think this one is worth a trip to Donington?

Lee Purnell · 3 Jul 2000, 19:27 (Ref:21195)

I would reckon it's worth the trip, Jordan cars will be cool, and the BOSS formula has always impressed me.

**Craig** · 3 Jul 2000, 19:59 (Ref:21201)

Woohoo!

I was already eagerly awaiting the TGP - didn't know the BOSS series was there too! Hope Mike Gascoyne isn't let loose in the Jordan again (if they've finished fixing it yet!)

Can't wait to see this...

Carrie · 4 Jul 2000, 19:05 (Ref:21452)

Tickets booked this morning Craig

Minardi fan · 5 Jul 2000, 20:13 (Ref:21673)

How do I get hold of tickets??? My chums and I want to go.

Minardi fan · 5 Jul 2000, 20:25 (Ref:21680)

Yeah yeah... Go and insult someone else Fatbloke.

Carrie · 5 Jul 2000, 21:00 (Ref:21694)

Now, now kiddiewinkles

Phoning Donington would be a good idea, or I think they have online booking on their website, alternatively, hasn't there been a few full page ads in Autosprout.

Minardi fan · 6 Jul 2000, 19:30 (Ref:21882)

Ta Carrie - However I got a leaflet today from Jordan HQ during the testing lunchbreak and so will be ordering tickets soon. Is anyone bothering to go to the concert???

**Craig** · 12 Jul 2000, 19:45 (Ref:22836)

Not bothering with the concert MF - sounds like an excuse for a load of drunken bums to get up on stage and make arses out of themselves... then again... maybe we'd fit in well

Danielsun · 12 Jul 2000, 19:55 (Ref:22839)

I'm sure we'd have no problems fitting in there, Craig!!

As for the day, I will not miss it. Not as long as the TGP will be on, or if I can see a car I really want to see on the track again: the original 7Up sponsored Jordans...

I might just have to call Donington...

**Craig** · 12 Jul 2000, 20:00 (Ref:22841)

I think you better had bloke...

The ad says the EJ10 will be driven (does that mean tonked around ?!) by Trulli and HHF (no Mike Gascoyne ?!) and some of Jordan's most famous cars of the past 10 years will be 'demonstrated' by guest drivers (De Cesaris ? Let's hope so!!)

Get on the phone now bloke... 0115 912 912 4

Is Davo going ?

Danielsun · 12 Jul 2000, 20:03 (Ref:22843)

No need to call; I've just ordered them through their website... I will be there... make sure you join me!!

Lee Purnell · 13 Aug 2000, 13:05 (Ref:30144)

If I could drag this topic back up again, who IS going to this?
I have got a free ticket so I will be there, who else?

Danielsun · 13 Aug 2000, 15:46 (Ref:30169)

Well, of the paying public, I for one will be there. I have a distinct feeling that the usual 'suspects' will be there for the ride as well...

Lee Purnell · 13 Aug 2000, 15:51 (Ref:30170)

Now now, I was going to pay for a ticket, but when a certain Eddie Jordan writes to you offering a free ticket, could I say no?
I think not.
Not only do I get a free ticket but a free lunch too, oh yeah, and I get to meet EJ. I'm not gloating by the way

Minardi fan · 14 Aug 2000, 01:04 (Ref:30289)

My spanky yellow tickets arrived the other day.

And I ain't no 'usual suspect' - some of us bring a little bit of class to the track.

Danielsun · 14 Aug 2000, 17:22 (Ref:30488)

What, by supporting Minardi?!

Minardi fan · 14 Aug 2000, 22:59 (Ref:30564)

Grrrrrrrr...

**Craig** · 21 Aug 2000, 18:10 (Ref:31881)

I am now in posession of a ticket for the big day (thanks Cazzer!)

jvilleneuve2000 · 25 Aug 2000, 01:16 (Ref:32610)

I have just read in autosport that the boss formula 1 race will have a huge grid of 33 cars!!!

Danielsun · 25 Aug 2000, 10:10 (Ref:32654)

And half of that 33 is made up of Tyrrells!!

Seriously, it's gonna be one helluva day - all those glorious old Grand Prix cars, on which the new ones are not a patch - imagine how many rolls of fim we can all go through!! Well, in my case, a few!!

I hope you're going, Carrie, 'cos I need some backup...

jvilleneuve2000 · 25 Aug 2000, 11:16 (Ref:32662)

4 tyrrells actually

Danielsun · 25 Aug 2000, 12:53 (Ref:32680)

I just can't wait to feast my eyes on the Jordan pit bab--- I mean, the original, and best-looking (by a mile) Jorndan 191. The 7up sponsored car was one of the best painted and stickered Grand Prix cars that I can recall...
