The 1978 Dywa Grand Prix Series season was the inaugural season of the Dywa Grand Prix Series. All teams and drivers raced identical Dywa-001 chassis with Renzo DFV-2 3.0 V8 engines. Exactly how the previously tinpot Dywa Cars were able to put together the resources not only to supply dozens of vehicles, but also to arrange transport and race events at major European circuits is a question that perhaps should not be asked and in any case must not be answered directly.

The series featured drivers who already had or would go on to race in the Formula One World Championship such as Valentino Nicchi, Leonhard von Gottorp, Timo Fuchs and future 1991 WTCM World Champion Silvio Bachot, as well as many names known previously only to the anoraks who follow national Formula Ford racing. It has been described by motorsport historians as "the spiritual predecessor to the Life Grand Prix Series" for its low-cost cars and chaotic racing.
