In this profile we explore the life and afterlife of a more modern Formula One car. Indeed, what does happen to old Formula One cars? I mean those multi-million dollar hi-tech racers of not too many years ago. Each and every year the dozen, or so, competing teams produce a combined total of 80 to 120 racing cars to compete for the Formula One World Championship. In the main, these cars are simply discarded at the end of the racing season. Those cars with the badge of the prancing horse are cherished and have currency, the championship-winning car and those finishing in the top three, or those that have been the stead of notable drivers are earmarked for museums and a reasonable future beyond the racetrack. However, there are many that simply took part, made the numbers up, or had a less than competitive season. Our profile car, sadly falls into the latter category. So, here is the story of the 2002 DHL Jordan EJ12-Honda.
