Race History:
For 1992 Eddie Jordan believed that the only way forward for his team was to forge a relationship with a major engine manufacturer rather than use customer engines. After a season with Brabham Yamaha became Jordan's new engine partner and a new car with a sequential gearchange had been designed to accept the Japanese V12.

With new sponsorship from the South African oil and lubricants company the team was renamed Sasol Jordan Yamaha for the new season and a new driver line up of Stefano Modena and Mauricio Gugelmin gave the team great hope for the 92 championship after their amazing first year in 1991.

Jordan's optimism was not to materialise. The Jordan 192 was fundamentally as good a car as the 191 but a series of mechanical problems with both the gearbox and the engine meant that the team were always on the back foot throughout the season with little time for any development.

All this was a severe test of the motivation of both drivers who reacted in different ways. Gugelmin put his head down and got on with the job, his perseverance and positive attitude was just what the team needed during times of trouble. Modena's temperament was entirely different and he seemed entirely unsuited to dealing with the problems which would accumulate each day.
Gugelmin took a seventh place finish at Imola through shear persistence and Modena took sixth and a World Championship point at Adelaide.

The team had suffered a disappointing year and partnership between Jordan and Yamaha was dissolved. The team had committed themselves to the new Hart V10 engine for 1993 and 1994. Designer Gary Anderson said of the season, ‘I suppose this sort of year had to happen some time, 1991 was too easy, really. We have learned much more from all of this and I think we're a better team for it. We've had to work hard and that's made us stronger. Definitely a character building year…’
