Name Ernesto Armando Kellermann Althoff
Born 21st March 1960
Nationality Flag of Brazil svg.png Brazilian

Ernesto Althoff is a Brazilian racing driver. The son of wealthy German-Brazilian landowners in Santa Catarina, Althoff has used his family's money to make the lengthy journey to the United Kingdom to pursue a motorsports career. Though has shown flashes of brilliance in karting, many wondered if making the big jump to Formula Two so early in his career was a bit rash.

Réné Decarié is a French racing driver. After four moderately successful seasons of Formula Renault Europe, he made the step up to Formula Two in 1978 with AGS Team Motul. A difficult season in which he failed to qualify to one third of the races he entered caused him to take a step back into Formula Three with Ecurie Elf. He regained sufficient form to earn a recall to AGS Team Motul for 1980, and he experienced considerably more success: two wins and two pole positions were enough to secure sixth position in the final year of the European Championship.

Details
Name Edoardo Ferlaino
Born 26th March 1958
Nationality Flag of Italy svg.png Italian

Born and raised in Naples, Edoardo Ferlaino is a nephew of SSC Napoli president Corrado Ferlaino, himself a former gentleman driver, who financed the early steps of his nephew's career. The talent shown in Formula Three between 1977 and 1978 (as well as his uncle's hefty financial support) led to him signing with Shadow, where his racecraft shone to the point Colin Chapman gave him a chance at Lotus ahead of the 1980 season. Often considered one of the last "true gentleman drivers", Ferlaino is known outside the track as a soft-spoken, well-mannered young man with a charming Neapolitan accent.
