Happy birthday to Lee!

On this day in motorsport

Eddie Jordan was born today in 1948
  • Born on this day in 1948: Eddie Jordan, who entered F1 with his eponymous team in 1991 and saw them win four grands prix before he sold up in 2005. He died last year
  • Born on this day in 1961: Mike Thackwell, who entered a handful of grands prix in the early eighties, won the Formula 2 title in 1984 but never got the break in grand prix racing many thought he deserved
  • 30 years ago today Damon Hill took pole position for the Brazilian Grand Prix while Jordan’s Rubens Barrichello joined him on the front row for his home race
