London, Feb 17: Germany's Heinz-Harald Frentzen and France's Jean Alesi, both former Grand Prix winners, have found drives in Germany's DTM touring car series after quitting Formula One.
''Jordan's announcement is a setback but I have been aware of the position for some time,'' said Ralph Firman, whose hopes were dashed when the team signed Italian Giorgio Pantano to fill the last vacant seat in Formula One.
''I am only really disappointed that the difficulties with last year's Jordan car made it impossible to do anything significant in my rookie season.''

Firman scored one point in 14 races.
