After a debut with a Penske PC4, the ATS team developed their own car, the HS-1, during 1978. Robin Herd was the project's technical manager. Despite the efforts of top-tier pilots like Jochn Mass and Keke Rosberg, the HS-1 did not achieve any notable results.
German Jochen Mass moved from McLaren to ATS for 1978, racing the entire season with the HS1. At the Brazilian GP, Mass achieved his best result of the year, with a 7th place after qualifying in 20th place. For 1979, Mass left ATS to join Arrows.

In the history of static modeling, Spark has truly revolutionized the market. The brand was created by Hugues Ripert, whose father André had been one of the main contenders of the artisanal modeling scene in the 70s and 80s. After working for Vitesse, Quartzo and Ixo, Ripert jr did not choose the diecast technique but opted for resin, with production in China but development and conception strictly in the European tradition. In practice the idea was to offer special models built in small series (what were later called "resincast"). The first Sparks were released in 2000, with a quality-price ratio unapproachable for most industrial and artisanal producers. Today Spark continues to churn out dozens of new products a year, having also expanded its production to other scales, such as 1:18 but also 1:64. There are numerous numbered and limited series for the various national distributors and for private customers such as teams, sponsors, drivers and so on.
