I took this photograph on a visit to the Donington Park Museum in March 1996.
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 led
by Harvey Postlethwaite 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 World Constructors' Championship. It was powered by the Ford
Cosworth DFV 2,993cc V8 engine.
