A development of the BMW/Andrea Moda chassis almost raced in 1993 as the 'Bravo'; this was a Spanish-funded F1 project with Jordi Gene intended as one of its drivers; the team ran into funding difficulties and the death of its principal Jean Mosnier meant that work was shelved.


For the 1994 season, Simtek entered F1 proper, with Cosworth power, and with Roland Ratzenberger (who only had funding for a part-season) and David Brabham as drivers, and MTV as their primary sponsor. The S941 bore a very strong resemblance to the Andrea Moda. Although underpowered with a customer Ford V8 the car seemed to be demonstrating some promise, but Ratzenberger's fatal accident at Imola, followed by his replacement Andrea Montermini's serious accident at the very next race just added to the serious financial issues of the team. 1994 (MCMXCIV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International year of the Family. ...

For the 1995 season, Simtek contracted three drivers: Jos Verstappen, Domenico Schiattarella and Hideki Noda. Schiattarella and Noda would share their drive. In the first three Grands Prix, Simtek featured XTC branding, an energy drink, but XTC wasn't going to pay, so Simtek had to look for alternative sponsoring. The 1995 Kobe Earthquake meant that Noda was no longer able to pay for his drive, and this was another financial blow and after the Monaco Grand Prix, Simtek Grand Prix went bankrupt and all assets were sold by auction.
