Origins
Robert Delaney founded Robert Delaney Racing (RDR) in 1968 to compete in various formula racing series in Aswick.

Astyrian Formula One
Mallard engines (1977-1982)
The team made its debut at the 1977 Exponential Grand Prix with the Peter Watson-designed RD1. They only signed one driver that year, Scanonian Oscar Nilsson. Their 1977 season wasn't successful, failing to score a point, with their highest finish being 8th at the Caprican Grand Prix.
In 1978, Delaney received significant financial backing from < name >, which allowed the team to run a second car. The team signed Beriquois driver Marcel Levett and Noordenstaater Jop Giezen. Giezen scored the team's first points at the Noordenstaater Grand Prix with a 5th place finish. This was soon followed by a podium finish at the Aswickan Grand Prix, where Giezen finshed 3rd behind Eddie Powell and Alan Digby. However, their first greatest triumph came during the 1979 Aswickan Grand Prix, where Levett led Giezen in a 1-2 finish.
