Macau, Nov 13: Jordan Ford will make history this weekend when a Formula One car will run for the first time in China.
Ralph Firman is set to drive the Jordan Ford EJ13 in demonstrations at the legendary Guia street circuit on three consecutive days beginning Friday 14 November, as part of the festivities celebrating the 50th Macau Grand Prix.
At this event, Jordan's livery will feature the blue and silver colours of Sobranie, a cigarette brand owned by Gallaher, which has been a principle sponsor of Jordan for eight years with its Benson and Hedges brand.
Firman, who won the prestigious international Formula 3 race at Macau in 1996, said: "I can't wait to go back to Macau as it's one of the most challenging circuits in the world. I have good memories of winning in 1996 and it will be really exciting to drive the F1 car there."
