He raced up until 1975, driving his final season in his own Fittipaldi FD01, having set up the team with Emerson and backing from the Brazilian Copersucar company.Īnd although some talented individuals would pass through the Fittipaldi squad – Keke Rosberg raced for them, while the 1980 F8 car was designed by Harvey Postlethwaite and a young Adrian Newey – a trio of podiums was all the team had to show for themselves when they closed their doors in 1982, the highlight being Emerson’s second place at home at Interlagos in 1978.For the first time ever, the Air Force Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Technology Executive Office held "Pitch Day" at WBI's 444 location in downtown Dayton.
