The Long Version
Arrows led its second ever race in 1978 before a court ruled its car a copy of the Shadow DN9.
Footwork's Japanese money brought a Porsche V12 in 1991 that was too heavy to qualify well.
Damon Hill nearly won the 1997 Hungarian Grand Prix before a hydraulic failure on the last lap.
Tom Walkinshaw's ownership ended in collapse and the team disappeared mid-2002.
