No matter how much good luck you threw at them they didn't have a shot. Without a works deal they'd have died off in the 2000s and Wirth made some terrible design choices at Benetton and Virgin so they wouldn't have made it that far without someone talented to guide him. He designed bad cars for a well funded team with a good number of engineers and that wouldn't have been any less the case with fewer staff

I would say that over time, the technical alliance with Benetton evolves into sharing aero parts, so Simtek starts running Benetton-esque cars with raised noses and the like. After I'm done with the Pacific video I'm doing a long what-if scenario where I put most of these together. I'll make the Benetton partnership more fleshed out there.

If only that last car had the reliability. The drivers said it was good, but it was let down by the engine power and the gear boxes. Especially the gear boxes. I think a lot of results for a lot of smaller and/or customer teams would have been different if the rules had been more like today when it came to engines, where the customer teams HAD to have the same spec engines as the works teams. Edit: Oof... I just got to that point in the video, I forgot Jeff Krosnoff's name was on the same car as his... It's sad because Jeff Krosnoff was killed at the Molson Indy Race in Toronto, the same accident killed a track marshall.

It's less a matter of talent and more a matter of age. I don't know of very many teams that would take a chance on a guy entering his second season at 34 years old. Money might be an issue too, he only had 5 races worth of sponsorship. If I painted Roland as a guy that didn't have talent, that was unintentional.

Some corrections Franco Rocchi sold the engine rights to Vita who was the one who then tried to sell the engine to a "Well funded F1 team" in a massive get rich quick scheme. As you said, nobody bought it. When all the back marker teams also told him to FO, THEN Vita decided to enter F1 himself because he wanted to prove them wrong. Vita never had a dream of anything other than getting rich off the engine, something that failed miserably due to the engine being undeveloped (Vita had no money himself to do that), the chassis being a flowerpot and the team itself being undermanned (due to having no money). Despite this, LIFE is not generally regarded to be the worst team ever (just the worst car) because while they may have fluked one qualification, Andrea Moda has that honour because at least LIFE never tried to KILL one of their drivers and weren't thrown out of the sport for being a criminal.

3m06 - The reason for no airbox on the T95/30 was the FIA technical rule, which mandate a hole in the airbox visible from the front for less airflow to the engine. A rule that was eleminated from the 95 San Marino GP. Some team like, Forti didn't have airbox on top of the engine for the first 2 GP, with the airbox entry located at the back of the sidepods (thus not visible from the front of the car, so no need to have hole) and some project like the Lola and Dome 1st wind tunnel model who didn't have airbox. 3:50 - You said Mastercard money came a bit too late for 1995 or there was not enough for 1996. The deal with Mastercard was only announced on November 05, 1996 6:29 - Actually, the car was tested before going to Melbourne.
