In May 1998 Super Performance Competition Engineering signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Mecachrome to begin in the 1999 season. The engines were purchased and rebadged as Supertec. Supertecs powered Williams, Benetton and BAR in 1999, and Benetton and Arrows in 2000. The Benetton team rebadged the engines as Playlife.

After the 2000 season, Supertec collapsed due to financial problems and thus Renault Sport F1 bought Supertec's assets in 2001.

gollark: I suppose if you clone the beeoids enough then you won't have to worry about them.
gollark: I suppose you could ignore this.
gollark: MANY people considered this, but the issue is grudger incursions being activated by any 1 used in signalling.
gollark: It's probably easier in lisp because of the whole "everything is fairly simple expression trees" thing.
gollark: If they replicated faster but cooperated with each other it could work maybe.
