Notes on the cars:
- Chevron B38 [37.77.21] (Bernard Birbès): New to Patrick Gaillard for British F3 in 1977. Sold to Jean-Louis Schlesser for European F3 in 1978, and run by him for KWS Motorsport. Sold to Bernard Birbés for French F3 and French hillclimbs (using a 1600cc Toyota engine) in 1979. To André Argeliès and run in French hillclimbs with a 1300cc Ford engine in 1981 and 1982. By 1987, this car had returned to England as was being raced in TF3 by Ian Jacobs.
- Chevron B38 (Marcus Simeon): Marcus Simeon raced a Chevron "B38" from late 1978 until July 1979, then moving to a March 783. He was entered variously by ACFL Sport Team, Formel Rennsport Club and Racing Motor Service, so may have been hiring these drives. Nothing more known.
