Fittipaldi 1975-1982 (Copersucar 1975-1979) Brazil/ Great Britain

Principals: Wilson & Emerson Fitipalfi.
Base: Sao Paulo (UK Base: Caversham/ Slough/ Reading).
Founded: 1973.
Set up by Wilson Fittipaldi, with backing from the Brazilian Copersucar sugar organisation, it gained momentum when brother Emerson joined as driver. In 1980, Copersucar had gone and Fittipaldi merged with Wolf, using their third series models (WR7-9) as the Fittipaldi F7s. As the turbo era approached, lack of sponsorship meant the end of this ambitious and colourful project.
