Ernesto Althoff
| Details | |
|---|---|
| Name | Ernesto Armando Kellermann Althoff |
| Born | 21st March 1960 |
| Nationality |  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.
Template:FRA Réné Decarié
| Details | |
|---|---|
| Name | Réné Decarié |
| Born | 15th February 1951 |
| Nationality | Template:FRA French |
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.

Edoardo Ferlaino
| Details | |
|---|---|
| Name | Edoardo Ferlaino |
| Born | 26th March 1958 |
| Nationality |  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.

Mario Lafleur
| Details | |
|---|---|
| Name | Mario Lafleur |
| Born | 4th November 1953 |
| Nationality |  Canadian
|
After impressing in one-make races across North America (especially Road America and Watkins Glen), Mario Lafleur climbed the American single-seater ladder and won the 1980 Formula Atlantic Championship with Doug Shierson Racing. This earned him a sponsorship with Player's, who are prepared to fund a Formula Two drive in Europe. Mario also made it clear that he wants to compete in the Indy 500, ideall with Doug Shierson.
Template:GBR Neil Maxwell
| Details | |
|---|---|
| Name | Neil Maxwell |
| Born | 8th August 1953 |
| Nationality | Template:GBR British |
Neil Maxwell was born and raised in Leeds, but lives on the Isle of Wight with his wife. He is a part-time ambulance driver, a job that allows him to drive really fast and not get arrested. Visually he is characterised by his mutton chops, which easily distinguish him from his fellow drivers. He has got up through the ranks due to his talent more than his money, and his bubbling personality makes him a favourite of the British teams. A very hard worker, he's also a fan favourite due to the fact that things seem to constantly go wrong for him during a race weekend, making him an underdog.

Leandro Rodriguez-Ferry
| Details | |
|---|---|
| Name | Leandro Rodriguez-Ferry |
| Born | 8th August 1949 |
| Nationality |  Colombian
|
Leandro Rodriguez-Ferry arrives in Europe with a diverse range of experience in national-level motorsports ranging from motorcycles to stock cars and sportscars. This had been achieved with modest financial backing from a "car dealership" in his hometown of Cali, but Rodriguez-Ferry arrives in Europe with far greater sponsorship from the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia, and the personal support of the very wealthy Colombian businessman and politician Pablo Escobar. What could possibly go wrong?
Template:FRA Arsene Senac
| Details | |
|---|---|
| Name | Arsene Senac |
| Born | 24th February 1955 |
| Nationality | Template:FRA French |
Arsene Senac is regarded by many in the paddock as one of the most naturally talented drivers in Formula One, noted for both his prodigious qualifying speed and his uncompromising approach to wheel-to-wheel racing, always going for a gap that exists no matter how miniscule it may be. He reached Formula One with only very occasional appearances in Formula Two, being signed to McLaren for his rookie year in 1980.

Max Spoed
| Details | |
|---|---|
| Name | Max Spoed |
| Born | 31st August 1954 |
| Nationality |  Zimbabwean
|
MAX SPOED #1 needs no introduction. A race winner in the enigmatic 1979 GPR rFactor Championship and a former South African Formula Atlantic champion, Spoed is looking to make the jump up to the international stage - be it in F2 or a one-off appearance in Kyalami in F1 machinery. He is known for being very demanding of his engineers, giving constant feedback about his set-up throughout the weekend, and has been known to turn up at the test track on days testing hasn't even been scheduled.
Umberto Uccello
| Details | |
|---|---|
| Name | Umberto Uccello |
| Born | 11th November 1937 |
| Nationality | Italian
|
Umberto Uccello is a racing driver who became known as the Orso Austriaco (Austrian Bear) after his shock race win at the Osterreichring in 1975. Ucello started his racing career unusually late in life. After giving up racing motorcycles, he moved to race cars in 1968. By 1970, he had climbed the ranks all the way to Formula Two, and would score a series of improbable race wins in his mid-thirties. Now well into his fifth decade, he does not believe that this has to spell the end of his career, and he continues to seek drives in 1981 in either Formula One or Formula Two.
