1995 Jordan-Peugeot 195
Pictured is a 1995 Jordan-Peugeot 195 Grand Prix Car.
This particular car is Chassis 4 and was driven by Rubens Barrichello in fifteen of the season's seventeen Grands Prix, a sister car being driven by Eddie Irvine.
After two seasons using V10 engines provided by Brian Hart's small Essex-based manufacturing company Jordan became a fully-fledged works team for 1995, taking over the Peugeot engine contract that had been terminated early by McLaren at the end of 1994.
Jordan had enjoyed a stellar 1994 season that saw the team collect both their first podium finish and Pole Position (both courtesy of Barrichello) ending the year fifth overall with their highest points tally for a season to date.
With a history of punching above their weight on limited resources much was expected of Eddie Jordan's team heading into 1995 but the season would prove to be something of an anti-climax, scoring fewer points and dropping a position in the overall standings.
Chassis 4 first appeared at the third round of the season, the San Marino Grand Prix at Imola, but retired from the race with a gearbox failure.
The next race in Spain saw Barrichello bring the car home a lapped seventh before registering another retirement in the Monaco Grand Prix with a throttle issue.
The Canadian Grand Prix proved to be the highlight of the season for both car and team with Jordan enjoying its best ever race result to that date.
Barrichello qualified the car in ninth position, one place behind team-mate Eddie Irvine, and the two 195s were running in third and fourth positions when a rare technical glitch struck runaway race leader Michael Schumacher's Benetton.
The German returned to the pits for a lengthy pit stop to remedy the problem and the two Jordans dutifully gained a position each, staying there until the end to clinch a double podium for Jordan with Barrichello second and Irvine third.
Chassis 4 would only score points on three further occasions.
The following race in France saw Barrichello finish a lapped sixth to clinch a solitary point before an eventful British Grand Prix two weeks later.
Whilst running fifth on the penultimate lap behind the McLaren of Mark Blundell, Barrichello attempted to overtake the Englishman ahead. The ensuing contact saw Barrichello lose both front wheels and end his race spectacularly in the gravel trap, eventually being classified eleventh.
Barrichello retired from the German Grand Prix with engine failure, finished out of the points in seventh in Hungary, took a point for sixth in Belgium before suffering another retirement in the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, this time a hydraulicss problem.
An anonymous race in Portugal followed with the car coming home a lapped eleventh before a better race at the Nurburgring saw Barrichello claim a surprise fourth position in a wet-dry race. That would prove to be the final points finish for Chassis 4.
Three retirements rounded out Barrichello's season. The Brazilian suffered an engine failure in the Pacific Grand Prix at Aida, spun out on a damp track in Japan one week later before crashing out of the season-ending Australian Grand Prix in Adelaide.
Barrichello ended the season eleventh overall in the standings, one place ahead of team-mate Irvine, with Jordan dropping to sixth overall in the constructors standings.
