Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Jordan almost pulled off one of Formula 1's greatest championship upsets in 1999 as they staged an unlikely title tilt against the might of McLaren and Ferrari.
It's a story well-known by fans of our Bring Back V10s classic F1 stories podcast, but when the chance came up to revisit the story with Frentzen on hand to help us tell the tale - well, we could hardly say no, could we?
Having previously covered the end of the 1999 season from Jordan's perspective back in season one, now we're looking back over the whole year with Frentzen joining Glenn Freeman and Edd Straw to give us the inside story.
We look back on his tense start to life at Jordan, what it was like teaming up with Damon Hill after Frentzen so famously replaced him at Williams, plus all the highs and lows of a memorable year for the team in yellow.
Sadly, that means discussing the late-season heartbreak at the Nurburgring too, where we find out if it still hurts Frentzen all these years later that a potentially pivotal victory slipped through his fingers on home soil.
