The Eddie Jordan Racing team attempted to lengthen its Lolas by adding a spacer in between the engine and gearbox, but eventually it too purchased a Reynard for Damon Hill.
The race win was given to Emanuele Naspetti, who was making his first start in a Reynard after his Forti team had switched from Lolas.
Fittipaldi's Pacific teammate Antonio Tamburini won on the Bugatti Circuit at Le Mans.
