The Jordan-Ford 191 is a Formula One Racing car designed by Jordan Grand Prix for the 1991 FIA Formula One World Championship where Jordan Grand Prix made his debut as a Formula One team.The 191 was designed by Gary Anderson, Andrew Green worked on the suspension, Mark Smith did the gearbox and this left Anderson the task of the bodywork and aerodynamics. The car had a tidy form with a raised nose and a drooping rear diffuser. Originally designed for the Judd V8, the 191 ended up being powered by a Cosworth-Ford HB V8 engine, Jordan having arranged a customer supply after fortuitously making contact with a senior executive at CosworthOn the sponsorship front, after failed negotiations with the cigarette brand Camel that had sponsored Jordan's F3000 team, Jordan signed 7 Up, a soft drink company, as the team's major sponsor. The 7 Up corporate colour was green and this tied in with that of the Japanese camera film company Fuji. After Eddie Jordan approached the company, terms were agreed and Fuji also joined as a sponsor. By November 1990, the 191 was complete and its first test run was conducted by John Watson at the Silverstone circuit. The initial feedback was relatively favourable and further testing was completed at the Paul Ricard circuit in France. The team's drivers had been selected; they were to be the experienced Italian Andrea de Cesaris and Belgian Bertrand Gachot. It was with that car that Michael Schumacher made his debut in Formula One at the Belgian Grand Prix. In their first season, Jordan finished fifth in the constructor's championship, scoring 13 points with the 191. De Cesaris was ninth in the driver's championship withe nine points while Gachot's four points earned him a share of 12th.The 191 is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful Formula 1 cars of all time. The car won the Autosport Racing Car of the Year award for 1991.
