Formula 1: Anderson returns to Jordan

Gary Anderson is returning to Jordan Grand Prix as Director of Race and Test Engineering following three years working with Jaguar Racing and Reynard Motorsport.

Anderson, who joined Jordan at its inception in 1990 and was the technical brain behind cars over an eight year span, from the impressive Jordan-Ford 191 through to the race winning Jordan Mugen-Honda 198, will commence his new role in early December, working alongside Eghbal Hamidy and Trevor Foster, reporting to Jordan’s Chief Operating Officer, John Putt.

Commenting on the announcement, Anderson said: "I am thrilled to be returning to Jordan Grand Prix. Working at Jaguar and Reynard has been an important phase in my career and I am now able to use additional experience gained from those projects to work with Jordan on building for future success."

Jordan’s Chief Executive, Eddie Jordan said: "Gary has been a huge part of Jordan Grand Prix’s history. We are delighted to welcome him back after his time at Jaguar Racing and Reynard Motorsport and I think this is testament to the great working relationship and friendship we have enjoyed over the years.

"I believe his capabilities have been strengthened by his time spent in other teams and he will be an enormous asset to Jordan, adding further experience and knowledge to our already strong engineering team."
