Everybody at Xtrac past and present would like to pass on our condolences to Marie and the Jordan family following the passing of Eddie Jordan on 20^th March. Eddie was a unique character bringing boundless energy and enthusiasm, and an incredible entrepreneurial drive into Formula One in the 1990s. His drive and determination made Jordan Grand Prix one of the most popular teams in Formula One in the 90s and early 2000s, and Eddie’s character brought him a whole new set of fans in his second career as a TV pundit after he sold the team in 2005.

All of us at Xtrac past and present are proud to have been a supplier to Jordan Grand Prix for many years, and thoroughly enjoyed working with Eddie and his close knit team.  It was never easy, but it was always immensely enjoyable!  All of us who worked with Eddie have many stories to remember him by.  Peter Digby, Xtrac’s Board Advisor was a close friend of Eddie, and will miss Eddie’s company and the good times they spent together; Eddie was always willing to advise and support his close friends as he had so many experiences to pass on.

Many fitting tributes to Eddie have been written and The BBC’s obituary written by Andrew Benson sums him up.
