Yeah I walked past that Jordan and couldn’t work it out… I thought about it for ages and thought it must have been one used in testing before the start of the ‘96 season with the an updated livery.

How can I upload my pics of the Australian Grand Prix Keith?

Thanks for all nice comments and sorry that I did not remember take more pics from pitbabes lol.

In that old Jordan was really small pace for your feet, You had to put feet threw small whole and it was really unconfortable…i can not understand how someboby can drive like that..

Yes i was lucky and had acces to paddock but honestly i think its a little bit boring place specialy on Australia its small and media is running around lol.
But yes..it was intresting to see what happens back of the garages…specially i did notice that half of staff of Ferrari smoke, drivers spend last minutes in toilet, jenson Button do not sing very well (as far as i was able to hear and pitbabes looks funny when they walk to work and carry their highhills on hand and walk around with runners

I guess it was a show model that they used in 95 or 96. They wouldn’t put an actual racing car on display, so they would paint an older one in the current scheme. That car has probably been stored somewhere still in that paintjob and now it is put on display again.

At least he drove with that paint scheme.

This must’ve been a show car from 1996, where Brundle can replace Benson in non-ciggie countries.

Nice pics. Shouldn’t Brundles old Jordan be in two pieces though? )

It looks like the orange car could be an old BAR chassis, from 99 or 2000.

Keith,
This is a brilliant post – it was very insightful to actually see the back fo the garages and scrubbed tyres, etc! I really hope that those of you who are lucky enough to get to a Grand Prix are willing to post your photos here! Encore!

Thats even more cheatie. I wonder why they do it?

Funny they should paint Brundle’s name on a car he never drove.

The back of the team garages is neat. Having never been to a GP before, I had no idea that the teams had their team colours all over the rear of the garage like that. Very interesting.

They’ve repainted a 1995 Jordan with the 1996 gold paint job. weird.

Excellent photos by the way!
