2001 Jaguar R2

This is one of the cars I photographed at the Donington Park Museum in September 2014.

Ford had taken over the Stewart Racing Team after the 1999 season and the resulting cars from 2000 to 2004  were badged as Jaguars, none of which were particularly successful. The team was taken over by the Red Bull Racing Team in 2005. This car is the 2001 Jaguar R2 which was powered by a 2,998cc V10 Cosworth CR-3 engine. It was driven for the whole of that season by Eddie Irvine with Luciano Burti driving the second car in the first four races and Pedro de la Rosa taking over that car for the remainder of the season. Eddie Irvine posted the best result for the team with a third place in the Monaco Grand Prix.
