Eddie Jordan is an esteemed motorsports icon, who has become a symbol of Formula One’s prestige. As a motorsports speaker, he shares his journey to the mogul he is today, takes part in insightful Q&As and is available to host events as a keynote speaker. Thanks to his passion for motorsports and business mindset, Eddie was a highly successful former team boss. Entering the Irish Kart Championship in 1971, Eddie ended the season victorious and sparked a move to Formula Ford just a few years later in 1974. Setting up Eddie Jordan Racing in 1979, Jordan would go on to sign British Motorsport great Martin Brundle and Johnny Herbert to run in a number of competitions including the British Formula Three Championship.
Eddie’s eye for talent has seen some of the most successful people get their break and drive for Jordan’s teams. Notable drivers have included Damon Hill, Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna, Rubens Barichello and Jean Alesi. Founding the Jordan Grand Prix team in 1991, Eddie gave a young Michael Schumacher his debut in Formula One. By 1998, the team had made a huge impression on the heavyweights of the sport, finishing first at the Belgian Grand Prix with drivers Damon Hill and Ralf Schumacher. Discussing the trials and tribulations of owning a Formula One team, Eddie is a compelling sports speaker who can give a clear idea of how business and sport comes together.
Selling the team to Midland Group in 2006, the team ownership has passed through hands to Force India, who now operates out of Jordan’s old premises at Silverstone. Eddie joined the BBC as a TV Presenter in 2009 to become one of their leading F1 analysts. Famed for spotting deals and driver swaps before they happen, Eddie has become the man to listen out for whenever big news is speculated. Known for his love of Rock & Roll, Eddie plays as a drummer in his own band, Eddie & The Robbers.
