Racing History
After running a Penske PC4 for 1977, ATS built their own car for 1978 with Jochen Mass and Jean-Pierre Jarier as their drivers. The opening race of the season was the Argentine Grand Prix with Mass 11th and Jarier 12th. In Brazil, The German had a fuel leak prior to the warm up lap and the team orders Jarier to give his car to Mass as he was team leader and the Frenchman didn't start and Mass finished seventh.
Both drivers failed to qualify for the Monaco Grand Prix
Jarier left ATS after Monaco as he wanted to focus on Formula 2 and Can-Am to rebuild his career and was replaced by Italian Alberto Colombo for the 1978 Belgian Grand Prix
ATS split with Alberto Colombo and was replaced by Finland's Keke Rosberg.
