The Webb Tiga pictured was one of only 2 SC77s made as I recall, the other one (ex-Brindley ?) was sold after the 77 season to Ernie Farncombe and sprinted from 78 onwards I think.
Shortly after the picture I believe Webb baled out and got a Lola, so making the grid nearly 100% Lola. Tigas came back though and were dominant in S2000 from early 79 onwards, up to the Aquila/Shrikes from 83 on. I wonder why the 77 Tiga didn't work, but the cars from 78 on were brilliant, any ideas ???
I think the March John refers to was the 81S, the year when March made cars for just about every category.
