Ensign N177 #22 Derek Daly Argentina GP 1979 in 1:43 scale
This is the Ensign N177 #22 Derek Daly Argentina GP 1979 in 1:43 scale by Spark.
At the 1979 Argentine Grand Prix in Buenos Aires, Irish driver Derek Daly brought the Ensign N177 #22 home to 11th place, a solid result for the small independent Team Ensign in a field dominated by bigger Formula 1 outfits. The Ensign N177 — powered by the ubiquitous Ford Cosworth DFV V8 — was one of the last non-“wing car” designs on the grid at the start of the season, making it technically outpaced by more advanced aerodynamics on rival cars. Daly, known for his fearless driving and smooth style, drew on his experience to keep the little Ensign running and avoid the attrition that struck many competitors in the season opener. What set the Argentine GP apart from many other races was its position as the first round of the 1979 World Championship on a fast, sweeping permanent circuit — a high-speed challenge in the Argentine heat that demanded both engine durability and driver stamina right from the outset of the year.
