In 1977 F1 season Niki Lauda on Ferrari won his second championship, despite Mario Andretti on Lotus winning more races. Jody Scheckter's Wolf won first time out, Shadow took their only victory, and Gunnar Nilsson achieved the only win of a career ended by cancer. Renault entered Grand Prix racing with a turbocharged car which was initially not very successful. Lauda departed Ferrari even before the season ended, so did not complete the season, having already sealed the title thanks to his consistent form. Ferrari won its third consecutive Constructors' title with new driver Carlos Reutemann having a solid season. The season was also marred by one of the most horrific accidents in F1 history in which Tom Pryce and a young marshall were killed in the South African GP. There was further tragedy as Carlos Pace lost his life in an aviation accident only a couple of weeks after Pryce's accident.
