Toleman did not win any races but became famous due to the inexplicable Ayrton Senna and his display of talent in Monaco.
the british team Toleman shining on Formula 2 and for this reason it climbed to the highest category in 1981. After several seasons without good results, the car rose to fame in Ayrton senna and 1984, certainly at the Monaco Grand Prix.
The Brazilian was dazzled by the legendary rain competition. He was second, behind Alain Prost. Then, he got another two podiums in Great Britain and Portugal.
his companion is Johnny Cecotto who suffered a serious accident during training for the British Grand Prix and was replaced by Swedish Stefan Johansonwho adapted quickly and was fourth in Italy, a career not run by the Brazilian, who was punished, due to the announcement of his move to Lotus for next season.
The team without Ayrton had a new TG185 for 1985 but Toleman fell on the side of the road, due to a lack of tires while Michelin pulled, Goddyear didn’t want to replace him, and Pirelli, where the team had problems last year, refused to give them up.
The failed Ted Toleman gave all the material to Luciano Benetton, who became his main sponsor on the team. So Benetton was born, from the ashes of Toleman, and in 1986 it had already achieved its first victory in Formula 1.
