Chassis: 308C/2
Although chassis 308C/2 was built late in 1975, it was not raced until the spring of 1976 when it had become FW05/2. It was raced predominantly by Michel Leclere, who never managed to finish within the top ten. Mario Andretti drove the car to 7th in a non-championship race at Silverstone. Another noted driver to sample the car was Chris Amon a crash in practice prevented him from starting in the Canadian Grand Prix. Chassis 308C/2 / FW05/2 was not rebuilt following the crash at Mosport Park.
