Been looking for teams with black nose wings. Strangely not that many.
Dallara, Tyrrell, March, Benetton and Ferrari.
Of these Benetton seems the most likely

Which F1 WDC race has contained the LEAST number of F1 winners in it *, excluding the first WDC GP and the first Indy 500 race in 1950 
*For D-Type: Who hadn't won a WDC race before this race.

The obvious answer would be the second WDC race with 1 previous winner, but that is way too easy.
1960 Italian GP won by Phil Hill had NO F1 winners starting the race

I am fairly sure that Ford did not not know about the Lundgren car, but think that they might have been known about the Stebro (driven by Peter Broeker) in 1963. I still doubt it was factory-sanctioned.
I suspect that the '66 Monaco McLaren M2b with a version of the Indy engine is the first "official" ford entry.

The first official ford entry was the McLaren M2B, the engine was derived from a Ford Indycar engine and was hopeless. The private entry in '51 was a one off thing that didn't really concern Ford, it just happened that Lundgren found a car with a ford engine. The Stebro car was basically a F3 chassis with the ford engine and Hewland gearbox.
Reading my question I didn't say offic1al Ford entry, but hopefully asking for the team that brought them in as a supplier indicated this, instead of an unofficial 1 off effort

No problem.
I had to reference my incorrect answer anyway but it amazes me just how much fellow contributors know about the early history of the sport, something I lack.
All power to them. |
