I am looking for info about the cars these teams ran in 1979 mainly the differences between models and what models actually raced.

I know Kauhsen ran 2 cars in the season (in 3 races!:rolleyes:) called the WK004 and WK005 but what were the changes?

Mezario ran a seemingly bonkers random way of naming cars but what did he run and did the bodies stay the same with the same name (did they always stay A4 or whatever bodies or was each 1 modified?)

Wolf, what were the WR8 and WR9 like and did they race?

Ensign N179?

photos welcome.
Thank You:)

From memory, Merzario's last car was a recycled Kauhsen.

The Wolf WR8 and WR9 were the same type as the WR7 (just different chassis numbers)...these were recycled to become Fittipaldi F7s in 1980

The Ensign 179 started the year with ugly front mounted radiators but looked more conventional by mid season. To confuse matters Ensign used a dual numbering system eg N179 for the model, but MN for the chassis number. I think the N179 was therefore also called an MN10 or 11 (I'm not sure the exact number)
