The name "Wolf" is well known in the Formula 1 world. It was at the wheel of the gorgeous Wolf WR1 that South African driver Jody Scheckter nearly clinched the 1977 World Championship!
Wolf Racing was the name of the F1 team owned by Walter Wolf, an Austrian who was naturalized Canadian and then became a millionaire during the ‘70s in the oil business.
