		Wirth, who has a degree in mechanical engineering from University College London and who was, when so elected, the youngest Fellow of the Royal Institution of Mechanical Engineers, was the chief designer for the Benetton Formula team—that’s “formula” as in “Formula-One racing,” not Benetton sweaters and sportswear—from 1997-99.

		Wirth, who is the technical director of RoboScience, explains he wanted to have something to prove the concept, something that would have multiple degrees of freedom but wouldn’t be off-putting—like a robotic crab.

		Wirth looked next to Jean-Marc Gounon, but the Frenchman had commitments for the first half of the season, and finally the likeable Austrian Roland Ratzenberger was given his F1 break for the first five races.
		That Wirth, Brabham and the whole of the Simtek crew pushed on through all this was a tremendous tribute to their fighting spirit.
		Wirth's appeals were to no avail, the backers never came, and Wirth was forced to close down the team immediately, leaving 48 crew out of a job.

	Atlas F1 Bulletin Board - Nick Wirth on the 1996 Benetton
		Wirth's B199 was probably too ambitious in its design but was technically quite innovative and interesting.
		It was also one of the first cars to move the oil reservoir from the spacer between the gearbox and engine to in front of the engine, again an idea later proven (credit to Stewert/Ford though for being the 1st here I think, ignoring March's earlier version that no one copied).
		I admire Wirth's daring to be different, but it also illustrates the maxim that well developed older technology will generally in racing beat less developed newer technologies, even if those newer designs are fundamentally going in the right directions.

		And while Wirth had planned for his original design to feature active suspension, new rules of 1994 banning driver aids meant that his eventual S941 design was conservative and overweight.
		At Monaco for round five, Wirth made a public appeal for backers, revealing that in 18 months the team had amassed a 6 million pound debt, especially after "a broken deal" and "bogus bank transfer documents".
		The backers never came and Wirth was forced to close down the team after the Monaco disaster, leaving 48 crew out of a job.

		A development of the BMW/Andrea Moda chassis almost raced in 1993 as the 'Bravo'; this was a Spanish-funded F1 project with Jordi Gene intended as one of its drivers; the team ran into funding difficulties and the death of its principal Jean Mosnier meant that work was shelved.
