Odd that 802-16 vanishes so early. French hillclimbs perhaps? Or a large crash in 1980 that I haven't spotted yet?
To satisfy my curiosity, I just scanned 1981 and 1982 French hillclimb results. No 802. Bernard Delage had a 812 in 1982, the old 792 was running way down the field and there were still a pair of 782s but no 802.

Checking the Black Books, F1R have it was the De Cesaris car, right up to his Misano win. So I'd guess it was actually wrecked by De C at some point and F1R have extrapolated.
