Jordan team confident of performing in US

The Jordan Grand Prix team are confident of securing points at the United States Grand Prix this weekend.

It's be a sort of homecoming for Eddie Jordan and his team.

“Our first ever Grand Prix took place in the USA (Phoenix 1991) so we always look forward to

returning to the United States. I love racing here because the large Irish community is always so

welcoming towards Jordan and we have a lot of American fans,” he said.

Meanwhile Gary Anderson, Director of Race and Test Engineering, said the team are in with a shout of causing a stir at the race.

"Our chances of doing a reasonable job this year are pretty good. The track has got several lower speed corners and a long fast straight that uses the oval track going through turn one backwards, so it is an interesting circuit.

"We are strong in low speed corners so the twisty sections should suit the EJ12. The tyres that Bridgestone are bringing look positive and our engine development is also promising.
