Walter Wolf Racing

Walter Wolf was a Canadian who became a Formula One constructor in 1976 by buying the assets of the Hesketh team when it withdrew from F1. The first car designed and built by the team was the WR1 which, driven by Jody Scheckter, won its first race in Argentina then went on to win the Monaco and Canadian Grands Prix, finishing second to Niki Lauda in the Drivers' World Championship and fourth in the Constructors' Championship.
This is the Wolf WR1 in the pit garage at the Silverstone Historic Tribute meeting in June 2004 and below in action at Luffield Corner in the Grand Prix Masters race driven by Max Samuel-Camps.
