1985 Toleman 185

I took this photograph at the Donington Park Museum in October 1989.
It's the 1985 Toleman TG185 that was driven by Teo Fabi and Piercarlo Ghinzani. The car was designed by Rory Byrne, very similar to the previous year's TG184 that had been driven by Ayrton Senna and powered by the same 4-cylinder inline Hart 415T 1,459cc turbocharged engine. The highlight of the season was Teo Fabi's pole position in the German Grand Prix, but he only managed two finishes, a 14th place in France and 12th in Italy, while Piercarlo Ghinzani failed to finish any of the five races in which he started. The team was bought out by Benetton at the end of the season.
