Jordan began a three-day test at Silverstone on Tuesday.
The Irish outfit had race drivers Nick Heidfeld and Giorgio Pantano on duty as it concentrated on tyre evaluations.
The Italian lost track time as a result of a mechanical problem, whilst the German completed 100 laps of the Northamptonshire track without any problems.
"This is our first test since the season began," Pantano told the team's website, "and I'm really pleased to be getting some more testing mileage in the Jordan Ford EJ14.
"Nick and I focussed our efforts on Bridgestone tyre testing today and despite losing quite a bit of time I did over 50 laps. Our lap times were close so I am satisfied overall with the first day and hoping to get through a lot more testing work in the next two days."
No times were issued.
