Japanese cars:
I have, mostly from JAF result sheets which may or may not be total tosh, the following info:
793-20 for Sasaki in 1980, as you said, but:
793-21 for Okumura in 1983!!! Also:
793-25 for Akira Hagiwara in 1980/81, and Kazuhide Kase in 1982 - can hardly be the Hauenstein car, because Urs ran a 793 in 1982 already, unless he had two!
I'm not arguing, just stating what I have. Btw, 793s were VERY popular in Japan (they were almost certainly present in double figures by 1980!), and the first one ran there on May 1 in 1979 already (Jun Takahashi)! 793-20 was, I believe, on the market just a few years ago, seller Japanese?
European cars:
I have, early season:
Project Four - Serra
TIGA - de Cesaris
March - Thackwell
Korten - himself
Euroracing - Ghinzani
Euroracing - Alboreto
Spiess - Henzler
Lienhard - himself
Schnarwiler - himself
those already ran in March, then in late April/early May:
March - Herregods
Derby Corse - Avanzini ("793 nuova" may have been a modified 783???)
Baldi - himself
Takahashi - himself
then a number of "new" cars at Donington Euro, May 20 (a week before Monaco):
Pedersoli - himself (I'm sure that was a modified 783)
Baldi - himself (very probably the same as before)
McMahon - Johansson
McMahon - Jordan
Heavens - Bleekemolen
Heavens - Boutsen
Acheson - himself
TIGA - de Cesaris (spare car)
Project Four - Serra (spare car, actually "79C"!???)
At Monaco these cars appear in my records for the first time, although they may not be new:
Euroracing - Necchi
Schlesser - himself
Longobardi - Cazzaniga
Paletti - himself
Fast forward and before the end of the season the following drivers appear in 793s:
Konrad (Jun 24, second Korten entry)
Pescia (Jun 24, 783???)
Romano (Jun 24, 783???)
Villa (Jun 24)
Devaney (Sep 9 ex-Johansson, Nov 3 ex-Roe)
Rob Wilson (Sep 30, "new")
Borgudd (Oct 28)
Fleck (Nov 3)
Leslie (Nov 3, Heavens entry)
Ian Taylor (Nov 3, TIGA entry)
A few more mentions of former owners:
Rick Whyman 1980 (ex-Jordan)
Gero Fleck/Uwe Teuscher 1980/81/82 (ex-Korten)
Gero Fleck/Donald Bradway 1980/81 (ex-de Cesaris)
Ian Shaw 1982 (ex-de Cesaris)
Sakae Obata 1982 (ex-LaTour '80/81)
Likely:
