The Jordan 198 was a Formula 1 race car built by Jordan Grand Prix to compete in the 1998 Formula 1 season. It was driven by Damon Hill and Ralf Schumacher, who managed to attain a 1-2 finish at that year's Belgian Grand Prix.
Appearance
The car made its sole appearance in Jeremy Clarkson's third yearly home video, titled Most Outrageous. It was used at the Silverstone circuit where it was pitted against Clarkson in a Ferrari F40 down the track's Hangar Straight, to compare a fast car (the latter being able to reach 100 MPH and back to 0 in 15.9 seconds) against a really fast car (the 198 could achieve this feat in 5.9 seconds, precisely 10 seconds quicker). He stops the F40 once he realises the race is no contest, before presenting a brief intermission from inside the cockpit of the car, where he talks dismissively about the then-current season of the sport.
