Two decades ago this month, Firman scored his first and only F1 point with an eighth-place finish in the Spanish Grand Prix. It turned out to be the high point of a tough campaign with Jordan, which by now was in its death throes ahead of being purchased by the Midland Group in early 2005.
Fast forward a little over a decade, and Firman clinched his 12th and final Super GT victory at Sugo. That year, the British driver with an Irish licence elected to call time on a career that yielded title honours in both Formula Nippon (now Super Formula) and Super GT.
