In 1978, René Arnoux made his F1 debut at the wheel of the pretty Martini MK23. Unfortunately for Tico Martini and Hugues de Chaunac, the adventure came to an end before the season was over due to a lack of money. Arnoux, meanwhile, saw his career revived by Renault the following year. He went on to compete in 162 grands prix, including seven victories for Renault and Ferrari.
