Formula One
1976: Shadow
By 1976, Pryce was racing for the UOP Shadow Racing Team as definitive team leader, with the second car being shared by Arturo Merzario and Michel Leclère. The DN5B was a flop of a car, and Pryce was only able to score a single point all year, taking sixth at the Spanish Grand Prix.
1977-: March
A lack of updates for the Shadow in 1977 saw Pryce jump ship to the March Engineering outfit, with John Watson moving in the opposite direction. Much like the previous year, Pryce would struggle for much of the season, with the March 771's lack of pace meaning he would score no points. Pryce re-signed for March for 1978.
