TECNO E371 - 1973 F1 SEASON - iPhone Case

For 1973, Tecno found itself in the position of having two dissimilar cars, one of them backed by the team's sponsors and the other by the Pederzani brothers. Count Rossi had taken on experienced British racing manager David Yorke and driver Chris Amon (who had been unable to agree terms with March Engineering for the season). Yorke and Rossi commissioned a new chassis from designer Gordon Fowell, while the Pederzanis hired Alan McCall to design a new car for them. McCall left before the car was fully developed, just to add to the chaos. Tecno missed the early-season races and used the McCall car to little effect from the Belgian Grand Prix, although the car did show brief promise in its second outing on the drivers circuit of Monaco where Amon qualified 12th and ran well in the upper midfield for 25 laps giving the sponsors, some decent exposure. By the British Grand Prix both the Fowell "Goral" car and the McCall car were available, but Amon managed only to qualify last with the worn unpowered engine and managed to move up to qualify 23rd for the Dutch GP where he was further disillusioned by the poor safety services which saw Williamson burn to death in his March.

Having two different, underfunded and underdeveloped cars competing for scarce resources meant the team struggled for success, and by mid-season there was disagreement between the Pederzanis and Yorke and Rossi. Amon achieved the team's only point in the McCall car in Belgium. (He had severe difficulty even fitting into the cockpit of the GorAl car, which only ever appeared in practice - although Amon claimed that it had the potential to be one of the best chassis that he had ever raced.)

By the Austrian Grand Prix, he was disgusted with the whole mess and left the team, which subsequently folded - the Martini & Rossi money would go to Brabham in 1974, the Pederzani brothers retired from competition, and Amon finished the season guesting at Tyrrell.
