From 2017 onward, after the departure of Dennis from McLaren, the team began to designate their cars with the name "MCL".

Its first win came thanks to Chico Serra, who won the opening round of the 1979 championship on Silverstone's Club Circuit driving a Toyota powered March 793.

Serra won five of the seasons twenty races to win the championship from Andrea de Cesaris who drove a March 793-Toyota for Tiga.

For the BMW M1 Procar Championship, all cars were built to identical standards, although their origins varied.

In 1979, Procar constructor Project Four entered a car for Niki Lauda when he was not in the factory entries.
