Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei irava - I whakawhiwhia te 312T2 ki tana whakataetae tuatahi i te whakataetae Brands Hatch Race of Champions i te Poutu-te-rangi 1976 a i whakamahia tuatahihia i roto i te whakataetae toa o te ao i te marama o Mei i te Spanish Grand Prix. Ko te 312T2 he mea angitu ake i te 312T. I ārahi a Lauda i te toa o te ao i muri i ētahi atu wikitoria e toru, i te 1976 German Grand Prix
I Nürburgring he aitua nui i puta mai i te whakapae i te hapa o te whakatārewatanga o muri. I muri iho, tata ana ia ki te mate, engari he mea whakamiharo i hoki mai ki te whakataetae i muri noa iho i te 6 wiki. Ko Lauda i whakawhiwhia te taitara ki a James Hunt, engari ko te kaha o te 312T2 i awhina i a Ferrari ki te wikitoria i tana taitara kaihanga tuarua.
