Mike Beuttler drove for them
but what do you mean "and and at which racers? "

[zgred]

Unfortunately - power of the Internet.

As far as I was able to find:

Mike Beuttler whole season except French GP while Reine Wisell was driving.
Mike Beuttler raced privately entered March cars.
And the team came from a group of stockbroker friends from whom the team took its name - at first Clarke-Mordaunt-Guthrie Racing, and in 1973 it became Clarke-Mordaunt-Guthrie-Durlacher Racing.

Mike Hailwood recieved the George Medal for a display of valour after pulling Clay Regazzoni from his car which was on fire after a crash between himself and Regazzoni at the 1973 South African GP.

I think I have luck today:



It is 1991 Porsche 3512 V12, big headache of the Footwork Arrows.

It was very bulky and massively overweight at 180kg. It didn't produce much power either so it failed utterly. The engine had a 80-degree vee-angle and had the power taken at centrally, similarly as used in their 917 flat-12 engines of 1970-71. Arrows did not even persevere for the whole season and the Porsche was unceremoniously dumped mid-season.

A V12 configuration, with an 80-degree vee angle, and displacement was just under 3.5 liters (hence the designation 3512). The engine was also unusual for having a power take-off from the center of the engine.[1] The engine was used by the Footwork team at the start of the 1991 Formula One season.
