    Aren’t Benetton technically Renault now? Who are now Lotus Renault GP?

    Some real old ones you have forgotten.
    Hesketh
    Cooper
    Braabham
    Vanwall
    Matra

    I think they all lost interest/ went bust with the possible exception of Brabham who might have been sold but cannot remember to whom.

    @ rabbit
    Thanks for that link – never heard of the project before but a very interesting read. Its a shame that could never happen today, though HRT are trying!
