Interestingly Toleman used one of the TG280s for F1 Hart engine testing initially, and it was quick! I often wonder why they never used that as thier F1 car and just did pit-stops when it ran out of fuel. Actually thinking about it the engine may not have lasted until they got to the fuel stops! Surely that would have been better than humping the General Belgrano round various circuits in 81 and qualifying twice??
Anyway I digress - does that make it the second Ralt F1 car by proxy after the Theodore of 78? (I am ignoring Brabhams here of course..)??
