BMW sells back their shares of the team to Paul Sauber. Having not won a Grand Prix as an independent, the team was sold to BMW in 2005, and competed as BMW Sauber from 2006 to 2009, scoring one victory. At the end of the 2009 season, however, BMW pulled out of Formula One and the team’s future remained uncertain for several months, until it was sold back to Peter Sauber and granted a 2010 entry. However, due to issues with the Concorde Agreement, the team remained as “BMW Sauber” for the 2010 season. In March 2010, Peter Sauber announced plans to change the team name during the season, but the FIA announced that they would have to wait until the end of the season to change their name.

SCARAB
TEAM: SCARAB
NATIONALITY: USA
INCEPTION: 1960-1960
COMMENT: Scarab was an all-American open-wheel race car and sports car constructor from the USA featuring cars designed and built by Tom Barnes and Dick Troutman for Reventlow Automobiles Inc, owned by Lance Reventlow.The chevrolet engines were built by Traco Engineering (Jim Travers and Frank Coons). Nicknamed “The Rich Kids”, builders of the famous consecutive winning Indianapolis 500 race cars driven by famed driver Bill Vukovich. Scarab made an ill-fated entry into Formula One during the 1960 season with front-engined cars, which by then, were nearly obsolete. The engines in these front engine cars were 4 cylinder units similar in layout to the Offenhauser, but entirely of Scarab’s own design.

1960 Chuck Daigh USA NIL (Cooper-Climax) Following the 1960 season, Chuck Daigh went on to contest races in the International Formula league in Europe, driving the previous year’s front-engined Scarab. He finished eighth at Goodwood contesting the Lavant Cup, and finished seventh in an attempt at the International Trophy. He went on to crash out of the British Empire Trophy at Silverstone. He was also a successful sportscar driver in America, winning the 1959 Sebring endurance classic & also tried to qualify twice for the Indianapolis 500, but without success. He died in hospital in Newport Beach, California after a brief battle with heart and respiratory problems. He is the most recent American to win the United States Grand Prix, winning it in 1958, when it was a sports car race.
1960 Lance Reventlow USA NIL (Cooper-Climax) Reventlow was the only child
of Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton and her second husband Count Curt von Haugwitz-Hardenberg-Reventlow and also the stepson of actor Cary Grant. Reventlow married actress Jill St. John. The glamorous couple were the focus of much media attention and his racing team was much talked about for having built the first Formula One race car in America. Shifting operations overseas to Britain, Reventlow’s team raced the Scarab cars in Formula One with little success against the new rear-engine race cars. Lance went back to the drawing board and built a very competitive prototype Scarab rear-engined car, but had become less interested in racing before its testing was complete. In 1962 he shut down the operation, leased the California facilities to Carroll Shelby, and quit auto racing altogether.

The nephew of Revlon Cosmetics industry magnate Charles Revson, he was an heir to his father Martin’s fortune (reportedly worth over $1 billion). He was a young, handsome bachelor who was described as a “free spirit” that passed up an easy life for one of speed and danger. Off the track, he led his life at the same accelerated pace.

1977 Tom Pryce GB NIL (During the South African GP, two zealous fire marshalls crossed the track. Pryce hit the second marshall who was carrying a 40 lb. fire extinguisher. He struck the teenage marshal at approximately 170 mph. Van Vuuren was thrown into the air and landed yards in front of Zorzi and Bill. He died upon impact with Pryce’s car. The fire extinguisher smashed into Pryce’s head, before striking the Shadow’s roll hoop, which threw it over the adjacent grandstand. It came to earth in the car park to the rear of the stand, where it hit a parked car and jammed its door shut. The impact with the extinguisher had wrenched Pryce’s helmet upward, and he had been partially decapitated by the strap. Death was almost certainly instantaneous. Pryce’s Shadow DN8, now without a driver or a roll hoop, continued down the main straight towards the first corner, Crowthorne, coasting slowly. The Shadow left the track towards the right, scraping the metal barriers before veering back onto the track after hitting an entrance for emergency vehicles. The Shadow then hit Laffite’s Ligier putting the latter out of the race. As for Van Vuuren, the injuries to his body were so severe that he was identified only by exclusion after the race director summoned all of the race marshals and Van Vuuren was not among them. An award was also instigated in Pryce’s name, the Tom Pryce Award also known as the Tom Pryce Trophy, given annually to Welsh personalities having made an outstanding contribution to motoring or transport.

Arrows would become famous for having the longest losing streak in Formula One history, 382 races with no wins. Oliver sold much of his stake to the Japanese Footwork Corporation in 1990, remaining as director, but the team failed to move forward and the company pulled out at the end of 1993 due to financial trouble. Oliver had his team back, but money was tight, and in 1996 he again sold most of his shares to Tom Walkinshaw’s TWR group. Oliver remained on the board until 1999, when he sold his remaining shares for a sizeable amount of money.

Suffering front wing-damage on the previous lap, the high speed on the backstraight, and therefore high wind pressure, finally broke the wing off, sending it under Ratzenberger’s car. His car failed to turn into the Villeneuve Corner and struck the outside wall at 314.9 km/h. After the car carried on down the track, spinning around and stopping at the next corner, Ratzenberger’s lolling head was revealed; he had clearly broken his neck. FIA President Max Mosley attended the funeral of Ratzenberger, despite the over whelming attention on Senna’s funeral, both in the world of motorsport and worldwide. In a press conference ten years later Mosley said, “‘Roland had been forgotten. So I went to his funeral because everyone went to Senna’s. I thought it was important that somebody went to his.”

COMMENT: Super Aguri F1 was a Formula One team that competed from 2006 to 2008. The team, founded by former F1 driver Aguri Suzuki, was based in Tokyo, Japan but operated from the former Arrows factory in Leafield, UK. The cars were referred to as Super Aguri Hondas, with the team functioning to some degree as an unofficial Honda ‘B’-team. In Japan, public pressure persuaded Honda to help its former driver Takuma Sato to continue to compete in Formula One. This was influential in the creation of Super Aguri’s F1 project and the engine supply from Honda. After participating in the championship for 2 years and 4 months, the team withdrew from F1 after 4 races in the 2008 season due to financial difficulties.

INCEPTION: 1970-1978
COMMENT: The team was formed by John Surtees, a three time 500 cc motorcycle champion and the Formula One champion in 1964. Surtees formed the team in 1966 for the newly-formed CanAm series (an unlimited sports car series), winning the championship as an owner/driver in its first year. He fielded an entry in another newly formed series in 1969, becoming part of Formula 5000 after taking over the failed Leda F5000 project, and his team constructed its own cars for the first time. His team was successful, winning five races, all in a row, during a twelve race season.

NATIONALITY: MY
INCEPTION: 2010-
COMMENT: Lotus Racing was granted its entry into the 2010 Formula 1 World Championship by the sport’s governing body, the FIA, in September 2009. The decision sees the return of one of Formula 1′s most iconic and legendary names. Although Lotus Racing is a new entity with a distinct Malaysian character, the team aims to respect the esteemed Lotus name, which is one of the most successful in Formula 1 history. Lotus F1 Racing is Formula 1’s first ever Malaysian Formula 1 team with operational bases in Malaysia and the UK. The team is headed and financed by a group of Malaysian entrepreneurs led by Team Principal Tony Fernandes. The team has full backing from the Malaysian government through its 1Malaysia initiative.

INCEPTION: 1972-1973
COMMENT: Tecno was a Formula One constructor from Italy. It participated in 10 grands prix, entering a total of 11 cars, and scored one championship point. Having two different, underfunded and underdeveloped cars competing for scarce resources is hardly a recipe for success, and by mid-season there was a virtual civil war between the Pederzanis and Yorke and Rossi. Amon achieved the team’s only point in the McCall car in Belgium. (He had severe difficulty even fitting into the cockpit of the GorAl car, which only ever appeared in practice – although Amon claimed that it had the potential to be one of the best chassis that he had ever raced.) By the Austrian GP, he was disgusted with the whole mess and left the team, which subsequently folded – the Martini & Rossi money would go to Brabham in 1974, the Pederzani brothers retired from competition, and Amon finished the season guesting at Tyrrell.In another manifestation of the poor luck and judgment for which Amon was legendary, he returned as a constructor in his own right in 1974, his designer being none other than Gordon Fowell.

NATIONALITY: GB
INCEPTION: 1974-1974
COMMENT: Token was a Formula One constructor from the United Kingdom. They participated in 4 grands prix, entering a total of 4 cars. The Token has an interesting history. It was originally intended to be the car with which Rondel Racing, the successful Formula Two team founded by Ron Dennis and Neil Trundle graduated to F1. Rondel had been running a team of its own F2 cars named after its sponsor, the French oil company Motul in 1973. The F1 car was designed by Ray Jessop and was set to make its debut in 1974. During the energy crisis, they lost their Motul sponsorship and had to abandon plans to move up. The completion of the car was funded by Tony Vlassopoulo and Ken Grob (although oddly enough Motul resurfaced as a sponsor of BRM in 1974…). Tom Pryce used the car to make his F1 debut, and it was later driven by David Purley and Ian Ashley. The car later passed into other hands and was renamed the Safir.

INCEPTION: 1981-1985
COMMENT: In the 1970s, businessman and motorsport fan Ted Toleman began his involvement in various car racing formulae in the UK. He was also noted for his involvement in off-shore powerboat racing. In 1977, Toleman entered an eponymous team in British Formula Ford 2000. By 1978, he was running a March chassis for Rad Dougall in British Formula Two. During that year, Toleman hired former Royale designer Rory Byrne but continued to use customer chassis in 1979, purchasing a pair of Ralts (RT2s) and engines from Brian Hart. Rad Dougall was joined by Brian Henton in the expanded team. Henton finished second in that year’s championship standings. In May 1985, Toleman acquired major sponsorship from the Benetton clothing company, which had previously sponsored Tyrrell and Alfa Romeo. During the 1985/86 off-season, the knitwear firm purchased the team and it was renamed Benetton Formula prior to the 1986 season. In March 2000 the team was purchased by the car manufacturer Renault and was renamed Renault F1 for the 2002 season.

INCEPTION: 2006
COMMENT: Scuderia Toro Rosso (Italian for Team Red Bull) is one of two Formula One teams owned by Austrian beverage company Red Bull (The other is Red Bull Racing). It made its racing debut in the 2006 Formula One season, after Paul Stoddart sold his remaining interest in the Minardi team at the end of 2005 to Red Bull’s owner, Dietrich Mateschitz, who subsequently struck a 50/50 joint-ownership deal with former F1 driver, Gerhard Berger, before the start of the season. In late November 2008, Red Bull regained total ownership of Toro Rosso after buying back Berger’s share of the team. Scuderia Toro Rosso is the sister team of Red Bull Racing, with the aim of developing the skills of promising drivers for the senior team.

COMMENT: The Tyrrell Racing Organisation was an auto racing team and Formula One constructor founded by Ken Tyrrell which started racing in 1958 and started building its own cars in 1970. The team experienced its greatest success in the early 1970s, when it won three drivers’ championships and one constructors’ championship with Jackie Stewart. The team never reached such heights again, although it continued to win races through the 1970s and into the early 1980s, taking the final win for the Ford Cosworth DFV engine at Detroit in 1983. The team was bought by British American Tobacco in 1997 and completed its final season as Tyrrell in 1998, before forming the basis for the new B.A.R. team in 1999.

Officially, Servoz-Gavin suffered an eye injury in an off-road event in the winter of 1969-70, and although it originally appeared that his eyesight was recovering, his eyesight deteriorated through the 1970 season, to the extent that he no longer felt safe in F1. A man of good looks and high society, Johnny Servoz-Gavin died in May 2006 as the result of a pulmonary embolism, following a period of ill health. He was 64 years old.

After the fatal crash of his teammate François Cevert in practice for the 1973 United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen, Stewart retired one race earlier than intended and missed what would have been his 100th GP. He earned an OBE and is a racing safety advocate, TV commentator and former team-owner of Stewart F.1. Racing with his son, Paul. They subsequently sold their team in 2000 to Ford (Jaguar Racing). In 2001 Stewart received a knighthood.
1973 François Cevert F 4th (47 pts.) In 1973, the Tyrrell team was back on top in Formula One and Cevert showed he was capable of running with Stewart at almost every race. He finished second six times, three times behind Stewart, who acknowledged that, at times, the Frenchman had been a very “obedient” teammate. As Cevert began to draw even with Stewart’s driving abilities, the Scot was secretly planning to retire after the last race of the season in the United States. For the 1974 season, Cevert would be Tyrrell’s well deserving team leader. Tragically, at Watkins Glen, with Stewart having already clinched his third World Championship, Cevert was killed during Saturday morning qualifying, slamming into a barrier resulting in massive internal injuries.

1981 Kevin Cogan GB NIL (CART/Champ Car. For 1982, showing much potential, despite not having yet won a race, Cogan was hired to drive for Penske Racing. During time trials, he set a new one-lap track record of 204.638 mph (329.333 km/h), and a record four-lap average of 204.082 mph (328.438 km/h). He was beaten only by his Penske teammate Rick Mears. Cogan started from the middle of the front row, next to pole-sitter Mears, and A.J. Foyt. As the field approached the start/finish line to start the race, Cogan suddenly swerved right, touching and bouncing off of A.J. Foyt’s car, and directly into the path of and collecting Mario Andretti. The cars of Dale Whittington and Roger Mears, deeper in the field, were also damaged due to the field checking up. Bobby Rahal also reported getting hit from behind, but was undamaged. The race was immediately red flagged. Cogan’s shocking accident took out four cars, including himself. Foyt’s team was able to make repairs, and pushed his car out for the restart attempt. Meanwhile, Andretti and Foyt were furious and outspoken about their displeasure with Cogan. Andretti shunned Cogan’s attempts to explain himself with a light shove. Johnny Rutherford[2] and Bobby Unser[1] later placed some blame of the accident on the polesitter Rick Mears, for bringing the field down at such a slow pace. Gordon Johncock, who went on to win the 1982 race, pointed out that Andretti had jumped the start, and could have avoided the spinning car of Cogan had he been lined up properly in the second row. Neither observation gained much attention. In 1986, Cogan switched to the Patrick Racing team and scored his first victory at Phoenix and
second at Indianapolis. He retired from racing in 1993.

After his death and that race where Jonathan Palmer was also injured in an unrelated crash but with the same type of car, teams became unwilling to allow their expensive drivers to compete in other races that were not part of the championship, and some would have drivers’ contracts tightened to prohibit them from competing outside the championships.
