Now the Mass had also left following a broken leg in the test as Harald Ertl had not pre-qualify his sign for the 1978 Italian Grand Prix gave him another chance with the first ATS Ertl didn t qualify for the race, and Rosberg returned for the final two races lack of continuity both in cars and in the garage had been of no help to the fledgling team, despite the introduction of the new D1 D1 chassis was designed by John Gentry and featured skirts, wider lanes and side pods 1 D1 was used in the last two races of the 1978 season 1.

In 1981, Lammers recalled to conduct a single D4, with a second commissioned for Slim Borgudd for the San Marino Grand Prix after that Lammers was dropped again, with the only entrance leading Borgudd The Swede took 6th place in the high attrition D4 of the British Grand Prix has now been replaced by the HGS1, designed by Hervé Guilpin but otherwise the results were mediocre, not frequent qualifications this was the year when the Swedish pop group ABBA sponsored the team makes, Slim Borgudd appeared on some ABBA recordings as a drummer.

For 1984, the new D7 Brunner chassis was introduced, but it was largely the same story, with not significant seldom rewarded speed, not helped by Brunner after leaving, predictably, another argument with Schmid Winkelhock ran 3rd in the Belgian Grand Prix before the electrical system failed, but his best finishes were 8th place of the great Canadian Award and the Grand Prix of the great Austrian Dallas Price a second D7 was added for Gerhard Berger After gearbox failure on the grid at the grand Prix of Italy Winkelhock finally lost patience and left in the race, Berger placed 6th, but the point was not awarded as the second entry has not been recorded early in the season Berger came in the last two races alone, with Winkelhock replaced.
