Jordan endorses Langley-Khan

Eddie Jordan, that well-known philanthropist, is endorsing the career of a 17-year-old British driver Adam Langley-Khan, who is racing this year in the Renault V6 Eurocup. Langley-Khan is driving for the DAMS team but has yet to make any major impact on the scene.

This is Langley-Khan's first full season in motor racing although he has taken part in a mish-mash of races in 2001 and 2002. It is therefore remarkable that Jordan would endorse a young driver who has yet to prove that he has any outstanding talent.

The cynics in Formula 1 seem to think that perhaps a small donation to the Jordan team funds may have helped.
