Teams and Drivers[edit | edit source]

Roger Penske debuted his Penske Car Racing team this year in both F1 and the ERL.

Denny Hulme retired from Formula 1 and the Elite Racing League following the 1974 season whilst Mike Hailwood also left McLaren leaving them without any drivers so they asked for their Formula 1 drivers for that season to also compete in the Elite Racing League which they accepted those being Jochen Mass and two time Formula 1 champion, Emerson Fittipaldi.

Lucky Strike Racing downgraded to one car following money issues.
