This pristine in excellent condition and brand new
Tribute to Eddie Irvine by Stuart McIntyre.
Eddie
Irvine raced Formula Ford from 1983 to 1988. Driving a variety of
different chassis, he won two Formula Ford championships by the end of
1987. In 1988, Eddie drove in the British Formula Three championship
and then joined the Jordan Formula 3000 team for 1990. He won his first
race at Hockenheim, finishing third overall in the championship that
year. The following three years saw Eddie driving in the Japanese F3000
series, almost winning the title in 1993. He also drove for Toyota at
Le Mans holding the lap record for several years. At the end of 1993
Eddie drove for the Jordan F1 team and gained notoriety by overtaking
Ayrton Senna having only just been lapped by him. In 1996, Eddie took
on the unenviable role as number two to Michael Schumacher at Ferrari
but in 1999 became the number one driver for Ferrari following a serious
accident for Schumacher... |
