Shadow Racing Cars

Shadow Racing Cars was a Formula One and sports car racing team from Britain. The company was founded by Don Nichols in 1971 as Advance Vehicle Systems, but the cars were called Shadows and entered under the Shadow Racing Cars banner. The first Shadow, the Mk.I, was a Can Am car. The team debuted in F1 in 1973 with the DN3 chassis and backing from UOP. Two cars were available for drivers Brian Redman and George Follmer, as well as a private entry for Graham Hill. The team would win a single race, the 1977 Austrian Grand Prix with Alan Jones. In 1980 they were absorbed by Theodore Racing, but lack of money meant the team was broken up by mid-season.
