Capelli, Ivan

What happend to Ivan after Jordan sacked him in 1993. Which race series did he go to or did he just retire from motorsport.

I think he did some touring car races and also some F1 commentary and possibly even sportscar racing ..but really he hasnt done alot since 93 ..allthough i did hear he was trying for a drive in CART but not much has come of that since.

Ivan Capelli is now working as Grand Prix commentator for Italian TV.
Back in the summer of 2000 he was announced as part of the program (as a driver) based on a GT/N Ferrari 360 Modena, built in Italy by Gabriele Gottifredi (of the unraced, Porsche 956 engined, GKW 862 SP C2 car fame!). The 360 was ready but never raced (possibly it will make its debut at Daytona next month under the Mastercar banner).

Thanks for the info guys. It's a shame Eddie Jordan finished off his career.

I think it was really Ferrari that destroyed his F1 career. After being a rising star with March his confidence was wrecked at Maranello :(

I also know Capelli did a lot of development work on the Maserati 3200GT. As far as I know he still has a bit to do with Maserati, and I think he may be one of the instructors at the Maserati owners' days they have at Vairano.

I thought he still drove GT2 ferraris? or am i just a bit confused?
