How about ATS (as in 'Automobili Turismo E Sport', not 'Auto Technisches Zubehor'!!) from 1963, considering the team was founded by disaffected Ferrari personnel fresh from winning the 1961 world title, and featured Phil Hill and Giancarlo Baghetti as drivers, its results were very poor. I remember readng somewhere that the team simply turned up unannounced at the Belgian Grand Prix, stopping the transporters outside the paddock and then simply driving the race cars into the pits! I also seem to recall that if an engine change was required the chassis tubes had to be cut apart and then rewelded in order to fit the new engine! See

Carlo Chiti (an ATS founder) later designed the disasterous Subaru Flat 12 engine that 'powered' Coloni in 1990...
