[2] The team was notable for its involvement in the early careers of future Ferrari designer Gustav Brunner and Formula One driver Stefan Bellof.

[2] Results did not initially improve and there were setbacks after Höttinger was killed at Hockenheim when he was hit by a wheel which had become detached from a crashed car[2] and Elgh broke an arm in a testing accident.

[2] However, Elgh brought some technical staff from his previous team, Chevron, and by mid-season the car (designated MM80) was more competitive, driven by substitute drivers, Beppe Gabbiani and Helmut Henzler.

At the insistence of the former Chevron staff members, the team base was moved to England and Gustav Brunner joined on a full-time basis.

The team folded shortly thereafter, in dispute with the British side of the operation[2] and Bellof moved to Tyrrell in Formula One partly with Willy Maurer's backing.
