Specifications March 721 F1 OW 1972 blueprint

The March 721 F1 OW 1972 was a race car that embodied the spirit of Formula One racing in the early 1970s. With its sleek and aggressive body lines, the March 721 was designed to maximize aerodynamics and performance. The chassis was constructed from a lightweight aluminum frame which allowed for incredible maneuverability on the race track. The exterior was comprised of a fiberglass and aluminum composite body, which featured a flowing and sculpted design that catches the eye of any enthusiast. Following the era of the 3 liter engine regulations, the March 721 was one of few exceptions to the rule. Fitted with a highly powerful and reliable 2.0 liter, 120hp Ford Cosworth V8 engine, the car was at a constant advantage due to its superior power-to-weight ratio. To complement its quick acceleration, the March 721 also featured a Hewland Mk. 8 5-speed manual transmission which delivered the power to the rear wheels. The March 721 had several other noteworthy features, aside from its powertrain. The car was fitted with basic suspension technology which consisted of a double wishbone set-up in the front and rear, and Dunlop four-spoke magnesium wheels. A pair of large and powerful brakes from Lockheed provided ample stopping power that allowed the car to be driven with precision and confidence on the race track. The March 721 will always be remembered for its relentless performance and historic success in Formula One during the early 1970s. To this day, the vehicle is seen as a symbol of excellence, representing a period in which ambition and innovation were the driving force behind racing.
