Zonta in the EJ10 hybrid

The shakedown of both chassis went well and the team suffered no problems testing the hybrid car. The Jordan press release called it at Honda interim engine but in fact it was the new Honda engine management system fitted to the EJ10 chassis and Mugen engine used by Jordan during the last season.

It was the first time since 1997 that Zonta has set foot in a Jordan. Commenting on today’s shakedown Zonta said, “We tested the new electronics systems and all went well in preparation for Jerez. The car felt good and I am optimistic about the future.”
