Jordan 195


The Jordan 195 was the Formula One car which the Jordan team competed in the 1995 Formula One World Championship.

Overview

Design

The 195 featured a distinctive low nose and highly sculpted sidepods, lending it a very smooth appearance.

Engine

When McLaren ended their supply with Peugeot and entered a long term deal for engines from Mercedes, Jordan decided to switch from Hart to Peugeot engines. The engine itself was underpowered and unreliable compared with other competitors.

Racing history

It achieved Jordan's then best-ever result at the Canadian Grand Prix, when Barrichello and Irvine finished second and third respectively behind Jean Alesi's Ferrari. However, the car was not consistently competitive and suffered numerous reliability problems, and the team ended up in sixth place in the Constructors' Championship.

Livery

The 195 ran with a mixture of white, red, blue and yellow livery until the San Marino Grand Prix when most of the blue livery were replaced with aqua. Total served as the team's main sponsor for the season. Like other teams sponsored by Marlboro, the logo was replaced with either a barcode or chevron at Grands Prix where cigarette advertising was not allowed.

Aftermath

In 1996, WRC champion Colin McRae test drove the 195 in 196 livery at the Silverstone Circuit.
