Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: Na Harvey Postlethwaite te hoahoa o te motuka, i mua i te kawenga mo te Hesketh 308 i wikitoria ai a James Hunt i tana whakataetae tuatahi. Ko te kaihauturu o mua a Wolf a Jody Scheckter i wehe i te roopu i te mutunga o te tau 2010, ka haere ki Ferrari, i reira ka wikitoria ia i te Toa o te Ao. I whakakapia ia e te toa 1976 a James Hunt. I te kitenga kaore i taea e Hunt te uru ki te &lt;a href="Wolf%20WR5"&gt;Wolf WR5/6&lt;/a&gt; chassis, me tere te hanga i tetahi motuka hou i mua i te whakatuwheratanga o te waa i Argentina. Ko nga motuka kaore i te pono, kaore hoki i te whakataetae, me Hunt anake i mutu tetahi o ana whakataetae e ono i te WR7 me te WR8. Ko te whakapae i mahia e te "Motor Sport" magazine i mua o te wa ko Hunt he taraiwa ka "ngaro wawe i te hiahia" ka kore e whakawhiwhia ki tetahi miihini whakataetae i whakamatauhia i te wa i wehe atu ai ia i te roopu ki te whakauru ki te BBC Television hei kaikorero i muri i te whakataetae
Ko te 1979 Monaco Grand Prix. I whakahaerehia e Keke Rosberg tana taraiwa mo te toenga o te waa, engari kotahi noa te whakataetae i oti. I pakaru a Rosberg i te WR9 i te wa e tohu ana mo te Canadian Grand Prix na he motuka hybrid e whakamahi ana i te monocoque o WR8, i tapaina ko WR8 / 9 i hangaia mo tana whakamahi i te United States.
