De Tomaso

De Tomaso was an Italian Formula 1 constructor that participated intermittently in the sport during the 1960s and 1970s. The team made its first entry in 1963 and competed in a total of 12 World Championship races without scoring any points or achieving podium finishes. Notable drivers for De Tomaso included Tim Schenken and Piers Courage, both of whom raced for the team in 1970, as well as Nasif Estéfano, who drove in 1963.

Despite its relatively brief and sporadic presence in Formula 1, De Tomaso's involvement reflects the era's diverse field of constructors attempting to establish themselves in the sport. The team did not secure any wins, pole positions, or podiums, resulting in a win and podium rate of 0.0%. Over its career span of 63 years since its first entry, De Tomaso maintained a points-per-race average of zero, indicating limited competitive success.

De Tomaso's Formula 1 record underscores the challenges faced by smaller constructors in achieving significant results during a period dominated by more established teams. The absence of retirements (DNF rate of 0.0%) in recorded statistics may reflect the limited number of race finishes rather than reliability, given the team's short and intermittent participation.
