History
The MS80 was Matra International's Formula One car for the 1969 season, run with Ford Cosworth DFV V8 engines and Dunlop tyres. Jackie Stewart won five of the ten Grands Prix he started in it, with Jean-Pierre Beltoise as the second driver. Stewart later singled out the 1969 MS80 for its handling balance.
