 The car also lacked the active suspension used by the frontrunners and had too short a wheelbase, which caused instability in the rear for most of the year but was later lengthened in an attempt to find more speed.The net result was that the Jordan 193 was usually over 3 seconds per lap slower than the fastest cars, but was still a competent midfield runner.No fewer than six drivers raced the car throughout the season, with only young rookie Rubens Barrichello competing in every race.
