Teams and drivers

All teams and drivers raced identical Dywa-003 chassis - however, at the start of the season, 3 teams were granted use of the new-for-1979 turbocharged Renzo BI-3T 1.5 V8t. The rest of the teams continued to use the trustworthy^{[citation needed]} Renzo DFV-2 3.0 V8 engines that had been in use since the series' inception.

The teams granted use of turbos at the start of the season were Macchina Automobili Giorgio Armani, Great Leap Backward, and Blockton Impact.
