Formula One

1976: Boro

Rebaque's Formula One debut would come courtesy of the Dutch upstart team, Boro. The tiny outfit had ambitiously registered for the whole of the 1976 season - aided partly by Rebaque's funding and hopes for success were predictably low. Surprisingly, both Rebaque and teammate Gianfranco Brancatelli were able to regularly qualify for the races and on many occasions finish them - Rebaque's best result being a twelfth place at the Canadian Grand Prix.

1977: Tyrell

Change beckoned for Rebaque in 1977 and he upped sticks from the Netherlands and moved to the legendary British team Tyrell. The 009 chassis suited Rebaque and teammate Pironi and as such he was a dead certainty to qualify for most races. In the early stages of the season, his best result was a tenth place in South Africa.
