Allen,
As background info., the RAC Championship did die after 1976 - As I remember, there were only about 4-5 Group 6 cars of various ages turning up, with the fields bolstered by Clubmans cars.
Autosport's Seasonal Survey for 1976 says Ultramar withdrew sponsorship (from the European Championship, at least) as they weren't getting great exposure for their money. However, their colours were still around in 1977, with Guy Edwards' Lola T294 (or T296 depending which race report you read)...
As to why March would re-name it a 77S...
