With sponsorship from the HB alarm company, he moved into Formula Three and then Formula 5000 in the following two seasons. In 1975, with HB backing, he moved into Formula One with the Ensign team, but was hampered by using obsolete machinery and injuries sustained in a Formula 5000 testing incident. In six attempts, he qualified on three occasions retiring from two races with mechanical problems. In his only finish, in Austria, he was not classified, four laps behind having pit-stopped for tyres. At the end of the season, Wunderink withdrew from top-level motorsport. He was subsequently known to be involved in the property business.
